cod or codling?
Please forgive my ignorance lads but what is the difference between a cod and a codling? Is it a size or weight thing?

codling are immature cod - not ready to spawn. certainly 20+ yrs ago, it was very unusual to see roed up fish less than 7lb. but last winter i saw several just over 3lb full of spawn. this is indicative of low stock levels which mother nature tries to rebalance by younger fish becoming mature earlier. alarm bells should be ringing - but there are many deaf ears!Comment

Think that was the size i was told by some of the older members in our club when i was a youngun, many moons ago and have stuck by it.
