The fishing hasn’t been bad at all over the last couple of weeks with multiple hits of cod at Rossall over both low and high water. Dave Brown has been hauling the cod, with the biggest being around 5lb in weight, yellow tails being the best bait. There have also been cod on the Wall and also Cleveleys. Still plenty of whiting around too.
