Weather: Windy to start and clamed as the session went on
Bait: Lug, frozen black, Frozen Crab, Sandeel & Mack
Rigs: 3 hook clipped & 3 Hook flappers all with size 1's
Results: 4 Codlin all about the 30cm mark. One Codling at 46cm :D 8 Whiting, 4 Dabs & 3 Flounder
Report: A spur of the moment thing this one. I was pi$$ed off being in the house over the weekend with all the shite weather. Decided that I'd try for a codling after the southerly on Saturday night... I gave Dave Tilly a bell and he had some Lug so after a stop over at at his place I was on my way. I decided to give the south beach, Arklow a bash. I was worried about the amount of fresh water leaving the river... but it's an easy enough place to fish with not too much of a walk involved. :wink:
I started off about half way between the pier and the rocks.. There was a lot off weed and leaves in the water that were snaggin the shock leader knot.. After nothing for 2 hours I decided to move close towards the peir.
First cast saw a couple of Whiting and there were regular nods on the rod tip from then onwards. About 9pm I had a nice bite which resulted in the 46cm cod... Cod was caught on lug tipped with mack. Hung around for a little while longer incase there was another about. About 9:20 the flats came on the feed big time. I was getting double shots for the next few casts until I decided to pack up...
All in all a decent session for a spur of the moment thing.
