The Cod Father

After climbing down a steep cliff path in the dark and trudging along the base of a very high cliff with the surf lapping at my feet we arrived at a mark below kettleness on the North Yorkshire coast. My friend and mentor for the evening set up my gear, baited up for me with a mixture of crab and mussels and and cast out for me into the surf. The result was a cod of around 2lb, my first cod ever and a cod that has me hooked!
