is it too early to pack in winters cod fishing

[Acko]

I went fishing last May it was the 18th Id been on the beach with the kids and when I got in I just yearned to go down the jetty at skinningrove I found a bit of squid in the freezer and went not expecting to catch anything and I ended up with a 4.5lber and a 5.5lber best two fish I had all last season...
Its a queer game fishing?
Theres always the chance of getting summat unexpected...

So all I\'ve got to do is catch one then :casstet:

theres always the chance of a decent sized cod from shore or peir just cause threre getting big cod from boats dont meen the cod dont swim inshore (ps happy birthday to me 13th march 28 )

Hello. I remember talk of a spring run. I think it was the return of fish from spawning late March/ early April ?.

 

[Acko]

Ah thankyou mate
Thats what the spring run is is it?
Last yr when I got those 2 in May everyone said \"the spring run\" Ive been trying to find out what they meant ever since.
Thanks John ...

seen lads from Crimdon catching codling from Lyne burn last year on a good sea in June.I was very impressed,the sea had been up for a few days so it must\'ve brought the fish closer to shore..so you just never know......

its worth trying 4 the reddies lads i think they put up a better fight in the summer than the winter cod.
had more fish in the summer gone than this winter, 5 reddies at 4 1/2lb.
2- 5lb, 3- 3 1/2lb & 1 fresh run cod at 8lb mostly from hartley skeer &
the cressent.
