hey taffy, you have one of the best charter fleets in the country down their get a trip on a boat, Ive had cod in june from the boats and the skippers there are very good.

Nice one gus.Only problem is this is a catch 22.No work/no money/no afford boat charter.Anyway i love the scenery from the shore marks down here and my sea legs aint that good anymore.

Taffy, you want loads of patience to catch cod in the tamar. I would concentrate on Mutton Cove or Devils Point with big bait and a pulley rig. I prefer 2 hours either side of low water of a small neap. But others prefer high water on a spring! So fish every tide until a pattern appears. One bloke I heard about spent 100 hours fishing the River and had one cod of 17lb! That is dedication.
