Do the cod that you see on the ground all come from wrecks ? Are the wrecks empty ???? Not sure your on the right track here

 

Thanks, Steve,

I'm happy to stand corrected. However if Pollack are still on the wrecks over winter then why do the charter boats (mostly) seem to avoid the wrecks and stay inshore for cod. Not saying all do but there's more to life than bait-fishing for cod inshore. Which I don't mind doing but would be happy to head offshore even in winter.

Ah! Ireland. Now there's a place I've yet to fish but would love to get there sometime for a week or ten day's fishing.

 

Often wondered where they go myself someone must have a good idea where they are

 

to Ireland, theres always pollock there

 

From Exmouth and further west you will find the boats fishing the wrecks for bass and pollack in the winter months with the bigger fish often coming Jan - February. Using lures which may work better in the deeper water there as often fishing in 60+ meters. Shallower water at this end of the channel may lose visibility after a few days of wind but if settled then lures could work on the distant wrecks. Certainly has good results from Rye in December on lures when conditions were good, which unfortunately is pretty rare nowadays.

 

I for one won't be spending anytime on the ground , very little ground fishing last year either

 

most Pollack go to Iceland.

 

Where they are packed and frozen and available all year round!

 

And before anyone else say's it 'That's why Peter goes to Iceland'!

 

Heard Peters gonna do a cover of his Mysterious girl:

Oh oh oh, mysterious Pollack
I wanna catch you,
so tell me where you go, oh, oh .....................

 

Gimme a ring legin can't wait to hear your fishy song !

 

Trust me Gary you wouldn't want to hear it. The term tone deaf I'm sure came about last time I tried singing lol
