Will this weeks predicted easterly winds and steady high pressure increase the chances of catching a codling off the dublin beaches this week?

The 40 foot (at night), Bullock Harbour, killiney at the tea rooms, shankill, corbawn lane & Greystones North Beach,

Big lug and crab baits the best. Up to high water prob best on most/all the venues.

I cant think of any venue in North Dublin that Might produce a codling, But Thinkin somewhere around Skerries might?? Your lookin for deep channel marks, thats why the Southside seems to be better at present, as you know with North Dublin Marks when the tide goes out .. its GONE

(now if we could only sell half of the sand on the North Dublin Beachs and make some wonderful deep channel marks... Anybody wanna buy some sand ??

I've had coddling up to 3lb from the back of Howth. Both Red Rock and at the Bailly. Very dodgy spots though so not advised to fish alone or in darkness if you don't know the terrain. Also avoid in the rain as wet rocks are lethal.

Used pullys with 2/0 with lug, crab or both. Also some joy on rag when in season.
