corky Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Lovely fish Andy, well done Just to play devils advocate (and maybe open up discussion) was wondering how many club members would return such a fish..? You could argue Cod stocks are far more seriously threatened than our beloved Bass. There is no doubt they are under heavier comercial pressure. My argument would be simple and relates directly to the commercial value of Cod v Bass. The fact is that over the last 6 or so years prices of wild large cod (the comercials consider over 5kg to be large grade) have more than doubled whilst large Bass have only increased by around 30%. The only reason for this extra increase in cod prices has been the steady decline in landings..... Ahh but what about the effect of reductions in Cod quoters I hear you shout ? Well fact is even the Icelandic Cod fishery has admited their stringent quoters havent had the effect they had hoped for and have closed large areas this year ( some 30% i believe) , as recovery is not as strong as predicted. Personaly I try on an almost daily basis to discourage chefs and restaraunts from selling wild cod (farmed is now almost the same price - and most farms now us sustainable feed sources approved by the MSC). The good news for Bass is that most will no longer pay the premium for wild as farmed is cheaper and consistantly available..........

alun j. Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Well done on those nice fish........were there any whiting with them?? You fared much better than we've done recently. Today Gastronaught was a bit further West........and it was DEAD.......even when the tide started to make a bit, not a nibble. We tried a few spots either side of the Dolphin Sands and found barely a pout!! Eventually moved closer your way, finishing off on the end of the Ledge , which turned out to be dogfish city.......with a few small bullies to offer the only variety! Despite poor fishing, it was a grand day to be out.......lovely warm sun , a calm day and a flat sea. Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Well done Andy. Sounds like a good day all round. I was out Thursday and couldn't find anything other than dogs but then I don't really no where to look! Where is the car park - no numbers, just the general area (unless you are feeling realy generous!) Cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
