Was fishing down in Youghal tonight, cracking night.
Caught also 4 small cods but released them as non of them were more than 20cm long.

Fished youghal tonight too weed free and cod free couple of coalies.

Let’s let the rumours out of this and only post actual facts

Was there yesterday as we're about 15 other lads didn't see anything over 1lb being caught
Very disappointed with it thought there would have been a few around at this stage

I said i would report back how i did today so here it is,

Fished the wall in monkstown at LW today about 20 fish all small whiting and codling got one whiting to size, Not looking good lads ill try again next week and see how it goes.

Ferry polnt today from the start of the flood, 2 pin cod
Lug and crab baits

hi im new to this site was fishen last week in cobh caught 2 congers one small cod and a few pin whiteing

great thread !! waiting on that one person to say its arrived and im straight in the car with my 8 jackets and 10 pairs of socks on

Well the weather is starting to get cold so hopefully they be in soon ill be fishing the wall in monkstown every week anyway so it will be straight up on this when the big fishes come in right now its hard to get one over 20 cm

Still no sign of cod run in Youghal - fished Ferry Point for two hours either side of low tide at the weekend. No cod, didn't see anybody else catching any either. But I did catch a bass on crab so it wasn't a wasted trip.

No cod showing from the rock marks in West Cork either.

Water temperatures of 12.5 from the M5 buoy and 11.2 from the M3 buoy being reported today.

Might have to drop a bit more for greater numbers to show no?

Will be down in the next week or two and will pop up a report also.

fished last night few whiting ... that was about it

Heading down to Monkstown in a couple of weeks for 3 days fishing. What kind of leads are needed, fixed grippers or breakaway?
Never been down before, looking forward to it.

You will need grip leads to fish the wall 5oz or 6pz mostly depending on how strong the tide is
Check the tides on the dates you are planning smaller tides are better as you will be able to fish them longer

Just back From cobh went down this afternoon low water 4.16pm i think! as the tide turned and darkness fell had 3 cod in 3 casts with the last of my lug (Had been there quite a while at this stage) not of any great size!But they are there,feeding hard judging by the Bellies on them!

A few of us fished Ferrypoint Friday night. Very poor and very cold best fish was a 47cm codling. at a guess 3lb. Fished Garryvoe Saturday evening till about 10pm. plenty of coalies flounder a 34 cm whiting and a decent bass of about 5lb. Hard grafting but it was dam good to get out.
