18lb Cod ,Penarth ...Lady Helen...

[Charter Skipper]

Cracking night in the Bristol channel,no wind for a change !!....flat calm conditions and the Cod were feeding despite the huge amount of fresh water present in the channel..Best fish of the night and the current season was a stonkin 18lb fish,lightly coloured fresh inshore, it was quite thin,and would easily have broken the 20lb mark later in the season when fully conditioned

18 lb early season Cod



Some other Cod from the evening......

Cracking cod !!! Biggest Ive heared of so far this year from the channel the guy must have been made up and as you say give the fish a month in the channel eating its fill of crab and shrimp and would have been a good 20lb
