The Cod run begins - 9th & 10th November 2013

Well Done Frank, cracking fishing, the 5.5 cod is a fine looking fish, we fished Greenpark on saturday night and came away with 7 keepers up to 3.5lbs, happy days, roll on the winter

Great fishing, well done, great report

well done its great when it comes together isn't it ?

I hope the cod play ball when I a run down to Cork in December

Cracking fish there Frank and fair play for looking after the elderly folk around you.... Tough times for everyone..

more outstanding fishing frank!
what do you think about frozen crab versus leve crab?
is there any noticeable difference on catch rates?

Carlsberg dont do fishing reports but if they did you'd be writing them for them Frank ,,,,, well done and fine photos and report

Thanks guys,

what do you think about frozen crab

Its not great, I would only use it if I couldn't get fresh crab.
If the fish are feeding strongly then they will probably take it but anytime I have used it the catch rate is much lower compared to fresh crab.
One time I just had half a dozen fresh peelers so fished one rod with that the the other with frozen crab. I cant remember how many fish I caught that night but I do remember that they were all on the fresh crab, not a tap on the rod with the frozen crab.

fresh crab is hard to come by when your heading down from limerick, much to my frustration with frozen crab yesterday. Caught more with fresh mussels.
