Good size coalie! The cod have quietened down a bit lately, think all this bad weather has upset them, a lot of fresh water in the river

Well done on the coalie , great fish
when u didnt get a cod for 12 hours with crab they just arent there

4 lb coalfish from the shore is a great catch.

a lot of fresh water in the river

That's an understatement - there is a torrent of fresh water coming down the Blackwater along with a huge amount of debris; branches, trees, logs, not to mention weed. All that fresh water will have pushed the cod well out into the bay - that's probably the end of it as regards cod fishing until next winter. I doubt there will be a late run unless we get a period of more settled dry cold weather in the next week or so.

Nice fish man. I find sometimes if u stop wanting a particular species they will show when u dont expect. Just my 2 cents

Totally agree, no sign of the weather going to settle anytime soon! It'll be a shame if thats the end of our cod season, very short and sweet.

well done on te coalie mate but as for the cod the weather is fiddled up and i cannot see any cod showing to be honest

thanks lads -we did have a good few small codling but not of any great size , sure im just as happy catching a few bits - beats the east coast pin whiting anytime , sure if i was after a nice coalie ,id land a good cod !!as long as im fishing im happy
here is to next year for the cod so

Fine coaly well done, lads its only 3rd of january dont be throwing in the towel on the cod front best options when rivers in flood is fishing outer harbour on the rise worth a chuck for another couple of weeks

Good stuff - sure ill get down for another try when things calm down so

Nice lump of a Coalfish, promising break in the weather for tomorrow, Rods at the ready!

have to agree with rockhunter we need 2 weeks of sub zero temps not looking good until next year

fine lump of a coalfish,there is plenty of time for cod to come back,and plenty of cold weather to come too.

there is plenty of time for cod to come back,

Unfortunately once they move out of the harbour/estuary then that is usually the end of it. Same happened last year - there was good fishing in the first couple of weeks of January then we had some wet weather and the flood water pushed the cod out, they never returned. Sure a few small codling of a pound or so could be picked up but the main shoal was gone. After that the only decent fish I had above 2 lbs were from Ballycotton bay

fished last hour of out going tide early sun morning 7cod best 4.5lbs rest poundish at green quay two hook flapper 1 lug 1 fresh crab all took the lug fished 15 yards out soon as low water came not another bite for 40mins so give up

Whopper whiting laad,a beast of a whiting
