North East A GOOD COD SESSION

[DEEP SEA JOHN]

Seas perfect realy big swells tide big. I decided to fish s. shields pier dug some lovely yellow tails ( lug worm ) first three casts using up and over rig resulted in three good whiting 1. 1/2 lbs then first coddling 5.lb 2oz second 10mins later 5.lb then two more whiting and last codling 5.lb 4oz all the fish went back ok as they were full of roe. the sea got a bit too heavy
so a hasty retreat to the pub
An obsevation i think climate change i not afecting the cod ( not in the north east ) as fair catches are being reported just now i think its overfishing just my view

Nice one! I don’t know, does seem as if colder water species have moved a bit - we certainly don’t see many here now, but I’m sure overfishing has taken plenty.

Us buying EVs and wearing sandals won’t make a damn bit of difference while India etc do what they like anyway, if man made emissions are indeed the problem

Great session DSJ

Yep. Our efforts aren’t searching the surface. But then can you blame them, we chopped down all our forests and industrialised to improve living standards. Arguably they know the impact now so maybe if the rich western countries were to donate funds to improve their standard without them having to continue contributing to climate change job done! Won’t happen will it, just have to accept things will continue to get worse I’m afraid. Live for moment that’s all you can do.

Great write up and catch. Nice to see there are a few codling still about.

I agree, can’t necessarily condemn former pre industrial nations for doing exactly the same things we did a century ago (or whatever).
In many cases the west is directly responsible for delaying the industrial revolution of other nations to get itself rich.

Which makes it a bit rich for the greenies in the UK to now boast about their EVs and grass sandals.

Anyway, sorry @DEEP SEA JOHN thats way off topic from your report - good to see some coddies coming in somewhere!

Well done on your session, we Jjust don't see that many codling on the Welsh side of the BristolChannel these days.

 

[Shirleycodlin]

Great session
You put them back
Fair play, I suppose every little helps.
Can't bring myself to do it.

Just noticed this report is in the NW section. It should be in the NE section. There are still no cod on the West Coast
