Hi mate,

have you left a post about where you were fishing and so on? If not, I think it would be good as there are not alot of posts at the moment of trips and catches.

tight lines

P.s well done with the nice codling!!! Good photo

Nice one Dal,

As it has already been mentioned that is what the majority of us are trying to catch.... and I am green with envy as I have not caught mine yet.

Keep it up.... oh yeah... where did you catch it???..... I won't tell anyone....LOL

Nice codling,

An idea of what bait, time of tide i.e low or high water would tell us a bit more.
Other than that " dal " nice picture and nice fish :wink:

Hi Dal
:o Thats of great interest to me, still catching codling that far up the Medway.

I used to go fishing on the otherside of the river near the old Arethusa just down from Chattenden or dene, I used to be stationed at the Army barracks at the top of the hill about 1970-1973
There used to be a pub quite near the river, but I dont remember the name of it, any ideas??

I always used to use a pulley rig and started my sea fishing exploits there.
only ever used lugworm, didnt know about mackeral squid etc etc.
I am still fishing in the Ipswich area at present, not much cod about,or not that I have caught anyway.
Post back any thoughts.
Cheers
