Island story

On Futbol Island the cod can be caught at:

  • Harbour Wall: The stone harbour wall behind the farmers market. Deep, cold water for cod and haddock.
  • West Cove: A windy cove on the west coast where a little stream meets the sea, so river fish swim in beside the rays and sharks.
  • East Jetty Spiral: The outer curve of the spiral at the end of the East Jetty, out past the farmers market. Deeper water than the shore, so a tuna or an octopus sometimes swims by.
  • Channel Bend: The causeway's big bend over the deepest water between the two islands. Shoals swim through the open channel, and now and then a tuna or a little shark follows them.
  • Farm Beach: The sunny south beach below Coral Cay Farm. Cod and haddock nose along the sandy bottom, and the farmers swap fruit for the catch.
  • Drop-off Ledge: A rocky ledge on Summit Isle’s south-east shore, where the sand stops and the sea drops away into deep blue. Cod and haddock nose along the edge, and now and then a little shark patrols it.

Size on the island: 40–90 cm.
