Well done lads,

that’s a wicked picture of the fog around the pier - did the fog hang around at the head for long ? Seeing them pictures of the Cod is making me want to get the boat back down to the coast already.

visiblilty was limited all day, not that we had time to be looking at scenery
hopefully this cod generation will put on more weight for next year

well done jw they are top quality fish .its very strange fishing in a fog we could hear people talking but could not see them, only a half mile away on the radar. we had one mackeral for the whole day and caught most of our cod with it .
