cod madness

People: John Warner and I

Duration: 2 and a half hours

Tide: start of the flood

Weather: westerly breeze

Bait: crab

Rigs:

Results: a major cod bash




Report:
With a few crabs leftover since the weekend we headed to Garryvoe before the weather went downhill,

A bit of surface weed around the place as we started but nothing a man would be afraid of.

From the off it was cod after cod total madness as I tried to tend to 2 rods.
I went down to one rod this just about gave me enough time to get a second trace ready before I was retrieving in another cod.

John stayed with the one rod from the start and looked the fresher man after the stint.

Distance wasn’t an object as most of the time a good thump from the rod stand was enough to get the baits into fish.


The heavier weed started to show in the last half hour but the fish kept coming in with it.

Best fish over 50cm and not a fish under 30cm but averaged between 38-44cm

In the end we problem landed over 30 cod for the 2 1/2 hour session,


Roll on the Munster Open Shore over the same venue
