Fishing in Cork

#1 Post by fishy1987 »

Hey Just wondering is anyone else having little luck in and around cork harbour for any deccent sized fish(cod). i know its a bad time of year for seafishing but we havent given up and have taken to a lot of beaches around the east cork.Unfortunatley the only results have been weed weed and weed!which is getting very disheartening :(

if anyone who knows where theres a few fish running or a spot fishing well i would be delighted if you left a reply/dropped me a pm.

thanks a million

Where are you fishing?
Cork harbour is stuffed with fish at the moment.
There is also lots of fish on the clean beaches at night.
UP THE DEISE!!!!!!!

If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

:shock: apologies.Sure i hear of great fish being caught in cork a lot of the time they just never find the end of my rod !blanking 50% (literally) of the time.The difference is im a beginner so all you experienced anglers are bound to be getting the reward of the good fish and different species as you have the know how.
just venting some anger, and not wanting to admit to myself that it is a problem with Me but Cork :? no offence intented :oops:
