It was impossible to count the number of 20/30 pound cod, but we did remember the dozen or so 40 pounders the six or more 50 pounders the two 60 pounders and the biggest of 72 pounds!!! our best cod day ever!!! Dave used a 20/30lb class Shimano travel rod, a Torium reel loaded with 40lb braid and a 20 foot 50lb mono leader. Norway chrome pirks (400gram) worked great with 10/0 trebles.

Testimonials from Recent Visits to Lauklines...

"I had a 45lb cod. I stopped counting how many over 30lb. It was a brilliant trip. The two days we spent on the reef were spot on with the weather. The third day the wind picked up. We stayed inside and tried for some halibut but as Marcus said that the season for the big halibut is later in the year. I'd like to go back there and try the self drive boats in the summer. Maybe a few days fishing then hire a car and travel for a couple of days. Everyone seemed very happy with the trip and were left wondering how they could better it. I can't thank you enough for organising the trip." April 2012
