fish a 3/0 pennel pully with long snood and match your bait to the hook size weather it be a small to mid crab or a large one cut in half as for tides it all depends on were your fishing the river can have a very strong run on it so 2 hours b4 lw and 2 hours after but you will get fish if they are about the hole of the tides once you can hold bottom

Call into Waterford Outdoor and Angling centre and tell the lads you are going fishing for cod, then listen, get some crab and you 're sorted for the year! :D It's that simple, you won't get any better info from any better anglers!
