galwaybay, 25/08 and near buncrana 26/08

People: myself

Duration: 3 hours each evening

Tide: over high galway and on the fill donegal

Weather: raining galway - dry donegal

Bait: rag, mac, sandeel, sprat

Rigs: 3hook flapper, pulley

Results: 1 codling galway - blank donegal

Report: not much to report just that i got my first ever codling in galway bay - heard they were there 20 years ago from the shore and gone since - took rag

it was a shingle beach with plenty of rough ground about in places - first time fishing it

was only 17cm - but good to see in these parts

after a lot of research the donegal mark was tried and i was finding the channel fine - but the crabs had me destroyed in 2 mins each cast - flew through the bait - no ray were had - nice mark all the same

thanks to all who gave me advice from up buncrana way - will definitely try it again if im up that side

Well done on the Cod tried that spot last year 2 rods fishing over the fill for 5hrs bait untouched.... might be time to revist it so

well done brian nice to see the cod around,i heard of a spot out past spiddal that you can get them but i never tried the mark

ive a feeling i could go back to that spot 20 times and never get a cod again - and perhaps not even a fish!
