wingnut Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Went fishing at Cleethorpes in the middle of the week and had quite a few people come up up to us saying that there were some good size cod were being brought in from the wall (bay 19) All we managed were a shed load of flatties and some decent size schoolie Bass, but still had a cracking day. Had some good fish over the years off the wall section. Tight lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aga man Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 always wondered but do the fish taste muddy [if eaten] when caught out of the humber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprackles Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 always wondered but do the fish taste muddy [if eaten] when caught out of the humber? Well mate, the Cod from the river is actually the finest Cod I have eaten and personally I wont eat Cod from anywhere else. I live there and have fished commercially so can tell you this, Cod in the North Sea generally has a lot of worms and usually their livers carry a good few too. (ive gutted enough of 'em) Cod from the River seem to have very clean livers and the flesh is beautiful and white and the fish very broad shouldered. My kids won't eat Cod as a rule either but when I did steamed fish and white sauce using some I had caught earlier, they also remarked how good it was. Probably due to their River diet of Shrimp and Crabs. The River now is a hell of a lot cleaner than it was with discharges from Chemical plants heavily curtailed and monitored......I work on one of them now, environmental Regs are very very severe.

aga man Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 thanks for that sprackles some useful info there mate. i have eaten plenty of codling, whiting and flatties caught off the beach but never the humber. i always imagined a muddy taste as i have eaten eels and trout from the river hull near to the entrance to the humber and they were very muddy but i imagine they were in the river hull for quite some time.
