Bray greystones kilcool Newcastle Wicklow arklow. They are your best spots you can catch codling up and down the east coast the hard bit is getting the big lads

You can catch codling of howth pier. There is a big bad brown sign pointing to it. I've seen lads take a fair few out at one session in early September. Maybe give it couple of weeks after the northerlys return.

Thanks lads

I've caught Cod at Dollymount, seriously. The Wicklow beaches are a great place for getting Cod but the days of the biggies are long gone. I remember a 22 pounder taken from Ballygannon in a competition one freezing January night many moons ago. Now, a 2 pounder would have a nice smile on my face. I've caught Cod everywhere along the East coast over the years. I'd say anywhere you try will produce fish.
