  • Winter Cod fishing - Rough Ground fishing on North East Coast - Cod fishing is almost a religion with some sea anglers. Here I fish with a great friend of mine Tom Rowe on a rough ground rock mark on the North East Coast. The conditions were very difficult to film in but I hope this captures some of the atmosphere and has some good info for you. Tight lines.
    Here is the link to Toms brilliant explanation of Cart bait : hookpoint.co.uk/in-the-cart/

    Brilliant Vid,,,, I gave up rock fishing about 5yrs ago but watching this has given me the bug again. Obviously I cannot recognise the shot you were at but I have fished most marks from Cowbar to Boggle hole so guess I may have fished the mark you were at. Keep up the vids John, best thing on youtube.

    • @TheFishLocker

    We never fished at night from the rocks but about 8 of us would get a local inshore man to take us out in the winter. The deal was a couple of pounds each for the boat and the owner of the boat took the catch, except pick of the catch ( two or three of the biggest) per angler. We would gather mussels as bait or sometimes feather for mackeral bait. We would go out early on the morning and return on the afternoon high tide. Brilliant memories.

    Rock hopping. One of the best ways to fish here in Aus. We get about ten people a year washed off or fall but it doesn't seem to put us off. Good video as usual. Cod's a good feed. Ah memories of cod and chips from the Pilgrim's Hatch chippy. And now I think of it, catching a tiny cod from Yarmouth pier on a wet windy day at age seven. Keep on mate, you're champion and much appreciated by the Poms.Kindest regards to you and family.
