No cod showing down this way at the moment but a few nice whiting showing in Monkstown and Youghal.

Doing most of my fishing from Monkstown best of old people just park up and walk across the road. :)
A couple from new years day caught on mackeral and sand eel.

for contrast - a blank on silverstrand galway, 27 fish on morriscastle, followed swiftly by a blank on ballinesker, to put me back in my place
