Courtown 17/09/2020

Normally I don’t go out Thursday evening for fishing but as I heard in news there could be other lockdown or something similar for Dublin- I jumped in car and head for Courtown for small little session.2 rods out - 2 hook flapper and pulley rig.bait - crab,lug.started early enough around 18.00.had a few dabs ,flounders and tiny smoothie pups.all small size but regularly.as the dark start things went quite.had no movement for an hour then one of the rods had slack line and the fish was on.it felt decent size and i was expecting anything but not the 58 cm cod!is it not too early for them? Anyways- I don’t usually bring fish measuring weights because I don’t get anything worth to weight so I don’t know the exact weight of the fish just length.next hour brought few doggies - but i had my fun and was packing back to Dublin.Tight lines.

Great stuff.. that's a lovely cod.. sometimes the spur of the moment trips are the best

wow what a lovely cod! lucky you

Excellent session and congratulations on the cod.
Hopefully a sign of things to come.

Nice fish , few showing in west Waterford beaches last 3 weeks , with weather breaking midweek I am hoping it might rough it up and bring in a few more

According to Angling Addicts, 58cm works out at 4lb 4oz, nice fish especially from the shore.

I was gonna head down that way on Thursday myself but something came up and couldn’t make it. With the lockdown now in place for us Dubs turns out you made the right call
Well done, nice fishin.

Crackin codlin off the beach fair play

Nice codling so early, well done.

That codling is making me think a trip southeast might be in order. Any showing around Waterford or Youghal?

I think Donal should be a man to ask about codling around Youghal area.
