thats fine pat but if you take into account the amount of time ,trips,and anglers that caught very little its nice to see decent cod caught there is a lot of anglers dont get them anyone going down to cork thinking there going to fill the cooler boxes with 10 lb plus cod will be in for a wake up call

Ok, point taken.
However, for those with the local knowledge reasonably good success is a regular occurrence. The angler in the last pic does catch cod to 12lb, and sometimes 14lb, on a regular enough basis. He fishes one particular spot that he knows can produce, hits it at the right time and uses the right tactics.
During the winter months a decent bag of codling (from 1lb - 4lbs) is a resonable prospect. We've proven that many times in our light line comps. In fact some of the comps anglers would need to have had 70 to 80 codling to figure in the prizes.

couldnt agree more there Perryman. i spent a full day in and around cork harbour targeting these fish.
we tried all the 'hot spots' we had been told about - near the mouth, along the shore and offshore - and we fished hard all day.
a lot of people were promising decent cod and, if i can recall correctly, i think that we actually only caught ONE cod at about a pound. we were sorely dissappointed.![]()

The amount of quality cod that was around cork harbour this year was unbelievable.
Fish up to 3lb weight were often taken off the hook before they got into the boat and put back because they were taking up space.
Catching 30 cod over 3lb in a day out was the norm.
To be honest it became very boring
