Cod fest

[Malc]

Started off quiet well offshore but just a haddock and crabs mullahing the bait. Inshore we were hitting lots codling to 3-4 lb and a cracker of a pollock for the skipper on light gear. We tried big lures, little lures, big baits, little baits and it was either mackerel hitting them on the drop or codling on the bottom little chance of getting the species we haven't got as yet in the competition apart from the haddock. Even 8/0 meat hooks with a 6" muppet and 1/2 mackerel fillets were getting codling on them. 

It was not all action all day but it was a laugh and we have a codling a piece and mackerel for bait in the winter. Tea was cod with tumbet.

Good day afloat 👍.  Sound busy enough and who doesn't like a codling for tea?

But what's tumbet??

tumbet

Is a traditional Mallorca dish, similar to ratatouille but has potatoes as well as the vegetables.
