Mon Dec 01, 2014 2:17 am
People:myself dad
Duration:4-8
Tide:lw at 6
Weather:calm cold
Bait:fresh crab
Rigs:pulleys
Results:codling to 3 1/2 pounds 1 whiting and 2 poor cod
Report:was heading down to cork to pick up a new kayak do we couldnt muss the opportunity to give the cod a bash after the dissapointing trip 2 weeks ago .
After getting the new yak we headed towards monkstwon and picked up crab along the way , arrived at the wall around half 3 and set up on the grassy stretch where no one else was fishing , first cast produced a decent bite which felt like a very good fosh the whole way in until he dived and got caught up in the reef which was a pity ,2nd cast i had a codling of about a pound and a half ...... Brilliant start we thought but no sooner had we started catching than it just switched off all of a sudden
Fishing stayed quoet for about an hour and everyone else on the wall packed up , but once the tide started to come in a few decent fish made an apperance for the next 2 hours it was a fish a cast app fish ranging from 1.5-3.5lbs which gave a great ffight plenty of head shaking , fishing continued like this until we couldnt hold bottom amymore which was around 8:30,,
So to sum up the trip it was well worth the trip downwith some cracking fish ended up with 15 keepers ,couldnt have planned it better . Pity we dont get any cod up in galway
well be back

It's funny, the time I was there it was the same as soon as the tide turned it was like a switch and the bites started coming

Exactly what happened to us aswell shortcircut we had heard before that it doesnt fish well during the dark so we thought maybe it was that as the light went at the same time as slack water
