When the weather has been kind to us this year the cod fishing has been excellent. Last Sunday saw Club angler Dave Perett land 10 cod in the the 4 hour match, and its a long time since I remember anyone doing that in the Whitby Fishing club matches. There does indeed seem to be an increase in the amount of codling about on the north east coast this year. Lets hope some survive the onslaught of the local trawler fleet and there hoover everything up policy.
Looking specifically at the weather this year, the mild conditions and off land winds have kept my fishing efforts to a minimum in fact I can count on 1 hand the number of times I've been out pleasure fishing since September. There just seems to be a lack of those northerly gales which usually signal its time to get the rod out the shed and head out onto the rocks, and with time passing by so quickly I feel the weather is denying us the opportunity to sample some of the best cod fishing to be seen on the coast for about 10 years. I have my fingers crossed for some Northerlies through December then hopefully we will start to see the cod in numbers and hopefully we will also see some quality fish.

Hi Stu,
Well done on the cod front mate, lets hope there is plenty more of them to come for you.
I've been focussing on my forum of late so the blog posts have been on the back burner for a while.
Hopefully have some good things to post about soon.
Cheers - Glenn
