Youghal still poor, serious shortage of crabs and some trawlers working the bay don't help. Maybe this storm will push them into the harbour.

Headed out in west Waterford between xmas and new years loaded up with a selection of frozen razor, mack and black wrap in the hope of picking up a winter cod!

Wasnt to be.. the mark was plagued with pin whiting which immediately attacked the bait as soon as it settled on the bottom.

Quiet a few of the fish that i landed had the "Lernaeocera branchialis" parasite buried in their gills.. the parasite was probably on half of the 10-12 fish i caught

Hi Paddy,no it wasn't-i was using braid on one of the rods so I would have seen or felt the nibbles if it was whiting. Plus I actually pulled in a crab at one stage -he had gotten too friendly with the hook !
