Odyssey Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 It was a club competition today, only 5 cod caught so I don’t think there are as many as people think… As for the cod comp, I think that there will be about 150 boats anchored on the coral 🤣🤣 jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As everything else has been late this year, I am guessing the main run of Cod will also be later. No point in targetting them here as we don't get enough to make it worthwhile, we just look at it as a bonus if we find a few on the wrecks. You certainly had a different sea to us here on the South West coast, the NE wind (F3) was pushing up a 0.75m swell at about every 2 secs, so I had a slower trip out to the wrecks ! I am going out again tomorrow, so my report will come later, but there are Bass fillets in the fridge tonight.

Always used to hate it when using the alderney ring too as you need some working room between boats to recover the anchor. Less so when using a windlass, but still not ideal.
