hi byq44, have fished that coast line for years and i caught my first cod at the weekend in Cork, have never had one along clare, i've fished what looked like obvious spots and other marks that there were rumours about, i think if cod were to come in cappagh pier in kilrush would be a likely spot as there is always a good run of whiting there during the winter,
