Going right back to nigels original post I would like to say that we must not forget the cod. It has indeed been hunted close to extinction by our commercails friends. I am pleased to see all the other species being caught from our area. Im sure Chris Mack will tell you that there is no one more enthusiastic about reading about his great fishing adventures than me. I like to here about big bass being caught (however if you listen to some of the old timers its nothing new - they've been here 30 years or more).
The point of my post is that to a lot of anglers the north east is about cod. Its about rocks, scars, peeler crabs, lugworms, slackline bites, northerly gales, huge seas and stonking great cod. Fishing for cod is my passion as it is many of the north east lads. Its nice to here about other species but for me it will not touch cod fishing. Call me misguided, lost in the past or whatever. We must not forget the cod and we must fight to make sure they survive. To divert our thinking at this vital time is the wrong thing to do. We need to make it clear to defar and the eu what we think should happen to this years good year class. We need to complain loudly at every opportunity about the mismanagement of cod stocks, so that hopefully the future can be a little brighter.

i will take u hound fishing one day next year and u will soon be forgetting
the HUGE sea,cod,kelp and freezing ya gonads off
it feels strange at first sat on a beach in ya tshirt, but when that rod lunges seaward it almost knocks ya knotted hankey off ya head




its a totally diffrent game
i personally think next year on the holderness coast will be something special as it has improved leaps and bounds over the last 5 years regs summer sport

Those who know me will be sick of hearing me. Yes I complain loudly at every opportunity. That includes letters to Defra, local mp etc, speaking to reps on local nesfc, moaning to Nigel etc etc etc

Hi Chris, I would love to come hound fishing with you next year. Would I be able to cast far enough though ?

Cheers - Glenn
