[bass2122]

just thought i would tell everyone about the weeks fishing me and my mate have had we went out on a boat last monday hoping of course to get cod but we caught none but we did see a nice 21 lb cod come up we had plenty of pouting all good size, doggies and skate. then we decided to have a night fish down our local beach in dover trying to get cod again but still none my mate on the other had managed to catch 10 bass why is this we thought they would all be gone now or is the weather to mild

There are very few Cod or Codling around these days. Sea temperatures are higher than normal, hence the Bass, and Cod love very cold water, plus they are trawled to death. It's best to disregard Cod as a viable species now, you will be wasting time and money for very little reward. Best to concentrate on what is there, and be satisfied with that. Target Whiting, Dabs, Bass , only take Bass over about 4 pounds of course, and flounder.
