I HATED This Newbiggin Spot... Then Caught a 9lb Winter Cod!

Winter cod fishing at Newbiggin doesn’t always look promising… and this session was one of those nights. The sea was massive, the cast felt wrong, and I was convinced I was fishing in barely 2 feet of water. I hated the spot from the start — then everything changed with a proper 9lb cod. In this video I head to a Newbiggin beach mark in tough winter conditions, talk through the setup, battle the rough sea, and end up landing a cod that completely changed my mind about the venue.
