🎣 COD TALES PODCAST 🎙️
2025 RECAP • CHRISTMAS • RIVERS • PBs • WHAT’S NEXT
This one’s a proper sit-down yarn.
No rush. No egos. Just looking back on a year that gave us everything — the highs, the heartbreaks, the quiet nights, and the moments that make it all worth it.
🔥 2025 wasn’t just about fish numbers
It was about time on the water, time with mates, learning rivers properly, and earning every bite.
💥 Big moments this year
• Metre-plus cod
• Surface eats that still live rent-free in our heads
• Watching mates land PBs they’ve chased for years
🎯 Azz’s year
PB trout. PB barra. Two different fisheries. Two massive achievements. Proof that the grind pays off.
🌊 Cod opening & river reality
Not a smash fest — but honest fishing.
Early surface windows. Weedless surface becoming essential. Slower presentations winning. Timber, edges, and patience holding fish.
Some nights it’s one bite… and that one bite is everything.
🚤 Dane & the new boat
He’s closer than ever — and when it happens, Cod Tales levels up. New water. Bigger trips. More chaos.
🧠 Mental health & the Cod Tales community
What started as mates talking fishing turned into something bigger.
Real conversations. Lure auctions. Fishing as therapy.
If this pod helped one bloke through a rough patch — that’s the win.
🎄 Christmas check-in
This time of year isn’t easy for everyone.
Check in on your mates. Slow down. Get outside. Wet a line. Speak up if you need to.
🔮 Looking to 2026
✔️ Bigger guests
✔️ More river breakdowns
✔️ More technique talk
✔️ More mental health initiatives
✔️ More trips
✔️ More honesty
To everyone who listened, shared, messaged and supported — thank you.
From all of us at Cod Tales: Merry Christmas, stay safe into the New Year…
🎣 One more cast is never just one more cast.
We’ll see you in 2026. Tight lines, legends.
