Walked the dogs this morning and was glad I decided not to go out - -6 degrees was a bit cold Mind you the weather looked beautiful by the time I got to work and I was beginning to wish I had gone out. ( But lost income, probability of blanking and still cold, I decided that correct decision maybe had been made ).
However, since I was not happy going a long way out without a buddy boat in such freezing conditions, I doubt we would have caught anything. No decent wrecks within single boat distance ( I pictured the scenario of problems occurring and being the only boat for miles meaning BIG problems )
I was having similar thoughts to Paul J regarding the cod. I was convincing myself that we should have gone out as we could have caught a cod maybe. But then I remembered that all previous attempts this year have failed
