Cod

#1 Post by basshunter10 »

Well lads, I'm seeing pictures of decent sized shore caught cod on all the usual uk sites, just wondering if anyone on the forum has had any themselves?

I'm not looking for marks or reports or anything like that just wondering if anyone has caught a cod yet this year or if it's all codling at the moment.

Feel free to add a picture of your best one of the year[emoji6] mine has been about a pound and a half [emoji30]

First, the eternal question 8) what's the difference between a cod and a codling :?

My best so far this last month or so is a fish :lol: just over 4lb from Ferrypoint.

Great fish Donal, that probably is the bigger question, what's your opinion on it? I'd say anything from 3lb up but I live in meath and get excited by anything over 40cm[emoji27] so my judgement is clouded at best.
