Cod - How long do they hang around for ?

#1 Post by jellybait »

I was just wondering , what is the cycle of the Cod down in east cork - Do they just arrive in the winter (Due to the cold?)and when do they move off again - when temps begin to rise ? trying to plan a few days down towards youghal next month.
thanks
