Is Monkstown still fishing?

#1 Post by dac69696969 »

Howdy folks. After a very poor road trip to youghal last week I was wondering if anybody could tell me if monkstown is still throwing up a few cod? Between engines blowing in vans and no cod showing during our trip to youghal I hope to get sone sort of a decent session in before they head back out altogether...... If I'm not too late already :roll:
Cheers
Dave

I think the best quote I heard on Monkstown is if you can see your lead hit the water your not casting far enough . Seems to me its the lads that can get the distance get the fish
