Big Cod

Despite some reasonable numbers of small codling big cod have been in short supply in the Bristol Channel so far this winter.

Things look like they could be changing though with the recent captures of a 20lb cod from near Weston and a 22lb 6oz cod from the beach at Burnham this week. There have also been a few low doubles, like the one pictured here, from the upper channel so now is a good time to have a go for that elusive specimen. Do not expect this opportunity to last too long as these bigger fish will soon be moving offshore to spawn and for this reason a number of local anglers now return large cod in the hope that they will survive to breed.
