Wexford Harbour near the Ballast, with crab (obviously) on a rough ground rig. Suggest one hook only. Easy parking, lit, and if they are in, they are in... probably a bit early for them?

I've never fished that spot is it really snaggy? Usually I'd fish a pulley pennel hopefully that'll do the trick.

I caught a lot of small cod off the marina pier in Welford last weekend.caught about 8 in a little over an hour but nothing very big. They were taking like mackerel on both live crab and rag. I didn't find it too snaggy just lost one rig. Conditions were high tide on edge of dark

Sorry predictive text got the better of me on previous msg. It was the marina pier in wexford town, the L shaped one opposite the ballast bank where the mussel trawlers dock. The codling were taking ragworm and live crab but the way they were taking I would say that they werent too fussy anyway. Have fished it again but with similar results. Small codling on rising tide but nothing to get excited about yet

It's a few years since I fished the quays in Wexford. My best results were February to May or so. Biggest I caught there was about 5 and a half pounds.
