Exactly mate, thered plenty fish around at the minute, maybe not in quality but in quantity.
Theres been a few decent fish around that area recently. A few years ago my good mate 'waco' lost probably the biggest cod ever seen/caught there, unfortunately I wasn't there to see it but many people did before the fish was lost, words couldn't describe how big it was, but from what i hear everyone who did see it expressed its size by stretching there arms as far apart as they could, and these where genuine anglers, including 'rod-the-cod', another member on here.
Just goes to show you should never mock a fishing mark, as one day that mark could throw up a fish of a lifetime, and you may have not been there to catch it as you think the marks dud.....
Am a right Jim mate or am a right.
Andy, biggest cod i have seen was lost on the white rocks about 5 yrs ago by John Davies, took a while to bring it in and when it broke the surface its head was huge, the body came through and we could not believe it, was witnessed by at least 3 members of NESA, then a guy we were fishing with decided to grab the snood and drag it round the rocks to bring it in, snood snapped and fish stayed there for a few seconds but seemed like forever then just sank away, we all estimated it to be between late 20s and 30 lb easily, fish of a lifetime, i would have thrown the fkr in the sea if it had been my fish he lost
A would try to land the fish myself if a could get down to the water nearby, or ask a friend I trusted to help, unless that stranger miraculasly had a dropnet or gaff standing by...
