    Report on-board Flamer IV

    WRECKING TRIP PRODUCES BIG COD - with an early start several wrecks were fished and a steady catch of pollack and cod in the 4 to 9Ib bracket were caught on a variety of lures.The tide picked up and with it the fishing slowed right down.So I moved to a big wreck that I beleive is not fished to often and with the thought that as the tide was now giving a drift speed of 3.1 knots we would be over wreckage longer and give the lads a better chance of catching fish in the fast tide run.Sure enough my hunch/descison proved to be a correct one as plenty of reasonable size pollack up to 13Ib were caught along with some big cod.Dave Barton started it off with a 17Ib cod then Glenn Barrett landed a cod of 18Ib 8oz this was followed by a few smaller cod in the 14 to 15Ib range being landed.In fact Glenn had a day to remember as he caught fish on almost every drift.Glenn is pictured with his 18Ib 8oz cod.
