The
Cod are still on the ground. At the start of the
month fishing at anchor, the best bait is
Cuttlefish, Black Lugg or Squid. The middle of
the month, they are starting to go on to
deepwater wrecks on the drift with
pirks.
February
The
Pollock are now running on the mid channel
wrecks. The fish are full of roe now, so they
have plenty of weight to them. The best way to
catch these fish is on red gills and Jellyworms
with a long flowing trace on the drift.

channel wrecks have good Cod on them now. Some
great lunkers and full of roe, fishing on pirks

do, it will be worth it.
