No one said cod fishing was easy 21/05/2009

This is the remains of Mr Mcavoy after a lesurely day's cod fishing !!

You have got to be coding 21/05/2009

After setting out to mid channel for a days cod fishing the target for the day was to beat last years best day of 214 cod.The weather was glorious and with a good tide we set about the task but having got off to a slow start we had only landed 42 fish by 12-00 so i decided to make a move to the west. On arrival at the next waypoint the first drift asccounted for another 9 fish so we were off and running and by 17-00 the anglers were starting to tire and by 17-50 only three anglers were left fishing. At 18-10 fish number 205 was landed and released and the day was called to an end just short of our target but whata grand day's fishing so you could say the cod have arrived
