Lads,
Sorry if this is a similar topic to others, (mainly about Waterford) but I am trying to organise a trip to Waterford City and fish the river for a few codling on the 28th December.
I will be travelling with a few mates from Wicklow in search of a few half decent (or decent :D )Codling.

Can anyone provide details of best bait, tactics, exact venue's etc and what tides are best?

You can PM me if you prefer . . .all help would be really appreciated!!

Many thanks in advance.
Eric
