Going for some cod!!!

#1 Post by agardiner22 »

Was thinking of bringing my small fella cod fishing at the weekend, it seems like Cork is the closest place they are getting them from me, do I fish off a pier for them or beach and will 2/3 hook flappers do for them??? will treat any help with strictest confidence :wink: :wink:
Always CAR! unless its a pollock...!

2012 species: Pollock, Mack, Coalfish, Gurnard, Bullhuss, Dogfish and Wrasse.
Would do anything for a bass!

not so sure about the old reliable spots, check out east coast venues, weather, temperature and accumulation of food for cod seems to play a big part in their presence at the moment.
