  1. Use BIG Lures – Lure are getting bigger and its because the cod we are targeting are bigger! Rhys covers a range of his favouirte lures for the winter time.
  2. Swimbait Rods – With all these big and heavy lures we need to use the correct gear to cast them. Swimbait rods are the way to go.
  3. Stealth Approach – This doesn’t only refer to being quiet and using an electric motor, it’s more about what you should be before you even start casting… very important.
  4. Low Light Periods – Fishing at sunrise, sunset and during the night is by far the most productive.
