Nice one Keith. Drop me a line when your thinking of one of these trips. I'd be well up for it if the brownie points are high enough.

:evil:
I'm going to make it my mission to get one before you kstaff and then not tell you where,

Best form de wall was over the 10lb mark but have lost biger.
When fishing de wall you a casting (160yds.) out into 70 feet of water at about 30yds. out the you hit the rock. The cod just keep their heads down and you end up getting snagged. Lost plenty of thumpers in it , always use clipdown pulley rigs.
Best cod from the shore was a 13.5lb Caught in Ballinwilling during a major blow. For anyone who knows the venue I fished from the car park because of the big sweel that was running.
Best cod on mussel was a 9.5lb fish at Monatrea (opposit Youghal town) 4 or 5 years ago.

Donal is it to early to fish Ballinwiling for cod, even though i've different reports from there recently(someone finished in the top 3 in a recent comp.according to a local paper :wink: )

too right guaranteed a blank if coaster comes along :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: .a load of 10s going up in passage 10cms :lol: !

Finished 2nd. in a munster closed leg on the 17th had 5 cod. 24 cod were caught on the night with the biggest at 59cm would not be far off the 5lb mark.

Nice one on the comp. Donal :D, also thanks for the info on Ballinwilling much appreciated.Hoping to get out around the county this year and try different spots(can't fish De Wall all the time :) ).Hope to meet some of the Cork lads as well(after all it was one who told me about the site ,still can't figure which one though :( ) and get some much needed advice (god do i need it :oops:) .

try the reefs down in shankill from the beach with crab on a pennel pulley. ive caught them to 5lb but have seen 10lb caught from the boat not far from the shore. its along shot but try it at night after an easterly near corbawn at distance at least 180 yards.

Barry,
3 people mullet fishing, 1 fish caught.
need I say more :D :P

theres a few marks ,you just need the conditions right and have the right equipment (ropes ,floatation suit ,headlamps ,rock spikes , and a strong tripod ) oh yes and rod/reel.

thought for a minute you were going to everest with all that kit :lol: regards ivan

Met an old grey haired lad on tramore beach one day. He said a good few years ago he caught an 18lber off tramore beach. Good luck with trying to catch one.I think ill stick to the 2-3 lbers down at the river.
