1st Feb Waterford Codling Hunt!

#1 Post by Danny M. »

People:Myself, Carpets, Heath and Pat

Duration:7pm - 0230AM

Tide:High 1am ish

Weather: em COLD ! -3 Celcius

Bait: Fresh/Frozen Crab

Rigs:Pennel Pulley

Results:Pat 3 43cmx2 1 30 oddcm codling Myself: 2 codling 36 1/2cm/43cm Heath 1codling 45or47cm either or! few pin whiting, Carpets 1 silver eel and 1 Tampon!!!


Codling over 40cm were kept for the table.


Report:
Arrived just before low water, Pat's first 2 casts resulted in a codling each measuring 43cm Both had small flat fish and whiting in their mouths see pic. Next to produce was Heath on the rise with a fine codling in the mid 40cm range, Carpets produced a silver eel next along with a 10cm Tampon :lol: . I pulled in a 36cm and 43cm codling near the top of the tide. Plenty of missed bites by everyone, I had a nice take was hauling the fish for about 30yards when he went to ground, using 25lb straight through and a 525mag couldnt hold him, end result line broke.. Cest La Vie.

Twas a cold affair, the water the crabs were in froze over!! Frost covered the whole parish including rods and reels.

Il be down again this weekend.

:D

makes you wonder if the small flats and whiting were nibbling at your bait when all of a sudden wollop fish ,bait and your hook get engulfed by a hungry codling ???? oh to see what goes on under the surface :roll: never tried the trick with a small hook tied to a larger one to catch a tiddler as live bait but it sounds like it might work on your mark :?:
