Glyn's 21lb10oz Cod.

With the weather looking good and a pass for Friday/Sat night it was with a feeling of great excitement that we headed off to the distant land of the hallowed shingle of Dungeness. A quick phone call to Geordie Si to say we was on out way. We where supposed to depart a 2 am but neither of us could sleep so we where on the road by 9:30pm Friday. 250 miles later and we where setting up on the beach. Right on the point. The beach was nearly deserted which was nice. We fished the tide down with both of us getting tinged out. Some of the ting where nice fish though going to about a pind and a half. It was absolutely freezing but luckily with little wind so there was no wind chill. Low tide came and went and about 3hrs into the flood we where sat on the shingle with the morning Sun in our faces. Glyn commented how he could see ting rattles on both rod tips and he would leave them both out as the race had stopped. Ten minutes later he was walking down the beach with what looked like a nice cod shaking its head by the movement of the rod tip. And suddenly there it was in the surf in front of me. So it was a case of get behind it ( didn't want to compromise the landing in the surf ) hand straight up the gill cover and carry it up the beach. On the scales it weighed in at 21lb and 10ounces. A very nice fish indeed Glyn.
