ballyquinn, ardmore, co waterford.
i fished here in the middle of the beach from 19:00 to 22:00 on new years eve. conditions were pretty spot on, calm with a slight south westerly. the fish however hadn't read the script and were not very obliging. in thr first hour up to high tide i had two small codling (under 1lb) there was then a bitless hour over high tide but i did manage three doggies and two codling, around one and a half pound each, in the last hour. bait was frozen mackerel for the dogs and fresh peeler crab for the codling, i also tried lug and mussle but to no avail. all fish were caught at about eighty yards range and all were returned alive.
Entries now open for the All Ireland Shore Cod Championships on November 29th hosted by Sea Angling Ireland SAC

Ballyquinn & Ardmore
I fished Ballyquinn east last Sunday (02/01/05) with two mates 2 hrs down from full tide. Only 2 small coalies to show. Went to the pier at Ardmore for the next 2 hours and had 2 doggies and 1 small whiting. Things were very calm, but it was a dropping neap tide. I thought the gale the previous day would have stirred it up but to no avial.
