aye.. try put some light on the subject.. thankfully i know what a cod looks like.. even in the dark..

as i have stated before.. the fish has to be identifiable.. so if its dark.. use a flash/headlight or any other light source to show species

If someone shows you a mark to fish, respect it and dont pass it of as one of your own, dont tell every man and his dog about it.

i'm suprised that the flounder category is still available. given the amount of them readily available around the coast. i guess people are just returning them before a pic is taken. eh steve :wink:

I'm not sure which pic Lee used but I can vouch for the fact he had both poor cod and pouting on that session FWIW.

the funny thing was after that photo was taken and said fished released, well chucked into the sea, Paul was seen running up the beach, very fast for a dot-combat person, then the camouflage gear must have come out cause we didn't see him for over two hours :lol: :lol:
