A good start would be look at the cod thread from last year :idea: it will give you a rough idea of locations and dates when old bucket mouths turned up .No doubt once a few start to turn up word will spread like a wild fire and you will know exactly when and where.Hope im wrong but not expecting a hectic cod year but should definitely be good sized whitting about judging by the numbers of pins last year :cry:
