So, what's the odds?..I've been doin a bit of recce and I reckon I've seen a few marks that could hold cod come the winter. Does there be cod here?..I know people will hold their cards close to their chest on this one and I'm not asking anyone to give away their secrets but I reckon they could be there and am just wondering about the possibilities of it? I'm going to give it a go over the winter anyway!

Been trying myself a good while.One mark in particular . Has cod writen all over it an very deep. Had double figure ling of it an good conger whiting,pouting, gurnards etc. But never a cod. I had two cod in mark fishing conger in 20ft of water , always when ya least expect it i suppose. Will keep trying tho. Al let ya know if any pop up.

Is it a rock mark?... I've been lookin at beach marks!...I know a few rock marks that are into deep water but they wouldn't be the safest place to be durin a winter blow!!...

was talking to a crab fisherman in killybegs a few weeks ago
he recons they used to net cod in the channel into the harbour
dont know whether they are still there but was going to try a few marks around the area this winter myself

been trying the last few years, didnt get out much last winter as wee man wasnt too well, but hope to try a few marks this winter. Have managed to catch whiting from some marks so hope there could be a cod or two

Best spots I know in that area are St johns point , Cod of the head dec time and into jan..
Best fished if there is snow on the hills it seems to bring them in...

Also back of the Rotten light on there is a rock called Gartley ,, it produces some cod in there never had and real size to them only codling but that was summer time

Hi, I recently bought a house in Rathmullan and have my eye on a couple of marks, one rock and a couple of beaches to try for Cod this winter. What area are you looking at?

I've tried one or two marks over the past few weeks and have got whiting on the last visit....could be interesting!
