South Coast Cod 2016

Youghal still poor, serious shortage of crabs and some trawlers working the bay don't help. Maybe this storm will push them into the harbour.

I'm thinking waterford might be a better shot

Fished the Waterford Estuary on Sunday, small codling barely a lb and a whiting.

Drove past a good few lads fishing the wall around low tide today. Any reports lads??

Still no cod plenty of pin whiting. Competition on tomorrow there should be plenty of anglers along the wall

Headed out in west Waterford between xmas and new years loaded up with a selection of frozen razor, mack and black wrap in the hope of picking up a winter cod!

Wasnt to be.. the mark was plagued with pin whiting which immediately attacked the bait as soon as it settled on the bottom.

Quiet a few of the fish that i landed had the "Lernaeocera branchialis" parasite buried in their gills.. the parasite was probably on half of the 10-12 fish i caught

It was hardly whiting stripping your bait that far up the river?? I was plagued with them 2-3 weeks ago

Hi Paddy,no it wasn't-i was using braid on one of the rods so I would have seen or felt the nibbles if it was whiting. Plus I actually pulled in a crab at one stage -he had gotten too friendly with the hook !
