more codling

Hi Delboy,

Congrats on the Codling

Where abouts do you go at Hopton? My mate and his dad fished it about 3 weeks ago and ended up going home early, with no fish and minus a load of gear. They said it was full of snags. Were they just in the wrong spot?

Cheers Spacemonkey

go down beach road down the slope head to the grones to the left but you must use lead lifts because the whole place is full of snags i only lost 1 set tuesday and that was out about 150+yards but most of the snags are 30-60 yards out but the chaps next to me were losing gear nearly every cast i can see why people go home early with a much lighter tackle box the cod will be at walcott soon will let you know when and there are no snags there when are you fishing next mate let me know

Alright Del,

Im off to Aldebrough on Saturday morning, will be there all day and in to the night, reports of codling there at the mo so im taking my chances! Its a bit of a trek to get there but its a really pleasant place to fish, will be as close to the "Tower" as possible if you get out that way.

Will let you know when i go closer by, will have to meet up mate

Ok, so the codling question has been answered. Now what about the term "poor cod"? Does this mean that some are born with a silver spoon in their mouth and some are not?
Just for the record, I am also into conservation in a BIG way................only cos I don't catch bugger all!!!!!

Not really, no - it's a completely different species, as it's a hybrid of a Pouting and a Whiting, sometimes called a "Pout-White" (surprise, surprise ).

Generally it looks like a skinny Pouting with a large eye, and the scales tend to be larger than the other two fish. I don't think they're that common, at least not off the coast of Kent!

Cheers,
JB.
