with the fishing being kinda brutal up here ,ter decided to take a spin to waterford /cork. got to dugarvin bfore 10 picked up bait in rod and reels (really sound of him to open up for us ). got a couple of spots off Gary and went to whiting bay first , full of weed strong south west blowing into our face waited 2is hours then headed to ferry point alot of weed here too but feck it we were going fishing regardless i had a pin straight away ter had a cod a hour later then he had a coalie fished here till 520am then drove into yougal and found a dock with evidence of fishing (loads of gut ,bait bags , chip bags and a tail and guts of a cod ) tried it here for 3 hours couple of bites but no hook up at this stage we were well and truely wrecked so we park in tesco and had a kip till 10 am and then ter tried yougal beach i tried getting some more kip but no joy and both parts.
Ter got to chatting to a local he told us to try the castle so we did no luck there on our way home we seen a bloke fishing from the bridge so we stopped and had a chat with him while we were talking he landed a cod so we legged it back to the ven got our gear and off we cast i caught 1 cod and that was it headed back to ferry point where a german fella told us to try calista so we headed to calista bay only to dicover it is right beside whiting bay and full of weed as well . ...bugger it . in a last ditch effort to catch some cod we headed to helvic head and fished the pier for a fair while caught only coalies but plenty of them they kept taken all bait at about 7 we decided to call it a night and start on the 5 hour drive home

ye sure covered alot of ground and got some fish to boot, i was in that "rods and reels" tackle shop in dungarvan yesterday hes (gary is it) got some good stuff in it had to drag myself out before a lure frenzy started

well done on the persistence. ye must have been dizzy from moving between marks. fair dues on the effort. was in ferrypoint last evening myself for 3 houre to full tide. froze to death and only i coalie between two of us. i lost a major fish alright.

fair play to yiz lads for the effort, sometimes it can be tough going alright. Those marks can produce bigtime but sometimes as you know it can swing the other way too. Its a pain when the weed is about too. I dont know about you but its still a mystery to me when and why it gets weedy sometimes and is clear at other times. Might post it up as a question on this forum. Anyway best of luck next time.

Hard luck lads. I fished the pier and the slob bank in Youghal over Christmas with just a few Coalies to show for it. A couple of days later I read a report that some fine cod were landed! At least you didn't blank

gary is sound i called him before i left to see if i could buy bait over the phone and get him to leave it in a pub for us but he said he would open up the shop when we got down , spent a fair few quid nice fella told us about a couple of spots as well

cheers lads it was a bit mental moving about but we decided to try as many spots when we were down there . just recovering now i think next time we will do more planning so we can catch some decent fish

we changed our mind when we seen all the cod that were caught .

unlucky lads. you really deserved better results with the time and travelling you put into your trip just a pity the conditions and fish were against you this time. but sure, there's always next time
