Cod Prospects 2012/13

#1 Post by patk »

Well with the kids going back to school this week sand september nearly here was wondering what do people think the cod shore fishing will be like this winter ? It seems it improved in terms of size of fish last 2 years around monks town and youghal where i would be fishing and to me at least that the numbers were much better than say 3 and 4 years ago. What do people think is ahead of us good year ? Bad year? Met someone who boat fished and he said there were loads of cod around the reefs last year not so this year any indication? pat
