Hi all,

We did take a boat (9 fisherman's) the 24th of March in Dunkerque France.

This is it...

It was a perfect weather, the sea was so quiet...
We didn't make a record fishing but it was a cool day.
Not big fish as the north American cost but fun too...

The time :

That's awesome man! These aren't trout though, shoulda put these in the ocean section. Those are mostly cod. The first fish looks like a whiting maybe, or a juvenile haddock? Do you know what it was? How far off shore did you have to go to get those?

For answer to Deb & Spysar,
We catch "Tacaud" in French (I fond "Pout" in English)(the Christian fish) , we can find too some Conger, Sole, when the water are warmer "summer time" Sea Perch, Mackerel, ...

I don't know the exact distance from the coast because we goes on different places... But it is between 1 and 2h travel.
I know that doesn't answer, sorry...

Michel.

Here the "tacaud" are called atlantic cod, the brown fish with the white stripe down its side and the dots, and white belly. (the fish the gal is holding and the other two pics below) That is the same kind of fish as my "whale cod" thread.They are one of my favorite fish to eat. If it took you one or two hours in a boat like that you were probably 10 to 20 miles offshore. Could you still see land where you fished?
