I have fished bad weather through the years!! have a flotation suit Xmas gift of the girlfriend. :D Just hopeing to catch something after a good drive and bad weather.

Got caught out last week in really bad weather and it didn't affect the fishing just be careful as to where you are fishing, flotation suits are one thing but how long would it take a lifeboat to find you in gale force winds and high waves.

you cant beat a rough sea to get the cod feeding.we practically pray for very rough conditions at this time of year so we can head up the north antrim coast in search of good cod,but its not for the faint hearted or someone fishing alone.we take our safety very seriously and have throw ropes etc and usually stand well back from the edge and dont take stupid risks.its a real buzz fishing in those conditions but if i didn`t feel safe i wouldn`t do it :)

jesus davey so there is cod up on the antrim coast that one ur holding hardley came from there
Sat Dec 02, 2006 9:52 pm
you fishing killiney cause if you are il see you there :P , bring a beachbuddy and some lenghts of timber to reinforce it, cause the wind tends to make a bend in it and this act as a buckets and lets the rain through, have caught 2lb haddock, 4lb cod and small bass in mega surfs here buts thats in the 15 or so sessions ive done here in crap weather. having said that i did get 3 cod and one collie a few weeks back in a SW force6 yeah!!
im mad anyway, but what direction is the wind tommorow? probaly should know that anyone?
Sat Dec 02, 2006 9:57 pm
oh yeah dont fish anywhere near rocks i had an inccident a few years back and that was in calm sunny weather, i fell in and lost my rod of the back of dunlaoighre pier :oops: rocks get pritty slippy too when it rains stick to a beach and play it safe.

im not saying there are loads of cod around but there is still the chance of a biggie.if you go to the gallery on the opening page of this site and open page 5 you`ll see some lucky ******(aka ronald) with the size of cod its poss to get if the conditions are good(well bad actually,as it needs to be rough :roll: )
by the way the cod im holding was caught at a deep water mark called... Norway!! :lol:

its a dam nice fish davey bound to b near 30lb a mate of mine eas over there said it was unbeliveable brought me back really big lead heads with a big bent single hook he said they put a mackeral side unto this and jigged it up and down for the cod havent had a chance to use it over here yet

it was 31.7lb,caught it on the mini rod and took an hour to land! Norway is an unbelievable placeif you cant catch fish there then its time to look for a different sport :wink:
