Cod fishing Monkstown advice

Hi everyone, I got a couple of weeks left staying in Carrigaline and I’m still trying to get some cods of The Wall. For now I only fished the wooden pier in front of the pub by night (every moment of the tide). I only got 2 small codlings (20-30cm) and a few small withings. I’m using fresh peelers and frozen razor fish on a pulley rig with a 3/0 Pennell hook and a 200g heavy grip lead. Even with this lead the rig is carried away when the tide is coming in or out. So here are my question : Does people getting cod of the wall this month ? Am I doing right with my baits and rig ? Should I try the grassy path mark or the mark near the tunnel by daylight for better results ?

A total waste of time looking for cod down there. If they were there I'd be catching them

ok, so you fish monks town a lot ? well if you catch any in the next couples of week just let me know meanwhile I might focus on east Cork beaches hopping for better luck

As said a waste of time in monkstown for cod its nothing like it used to be

I have fished there the last few weeks all whiting and a few small codling, very poor

Hi all you lads that fish Monkstown I am planning a trip down to it during 2018 but can not decide which tides are best for the cod fishing.I am thinking that low neap tides are best like the ones from the 8th to the 14th of January and similar tides during the year would be the best tides to have any chance of getting at least some cod.So any of you regular Monkstown cod fishermen could you please try to fish these dates and let me know if my theory on the slack tides is right . A PM or open post will let me know
when I will venture down to fish for cod in Monkstown love you all and a very Codperous new year

As said a total waste of time at the moment . If they do show up I'll post about it.

Gave it an hour this morning around high water full of small whiting only

so, no more cod in Monkstown? where do we go then?

Youghal or waterford

Any showing yet?

Back in the time when cod were caught in Monkstown I would wait till the October weekend before having a cast.
Do a search under " South coast cod" there is plenty of reading there.
A bit scattered with links to other posts but enough reading to keep you going until
they show.

It's getting colder by the day. Are they in yet?

There are some being caught around Youghal Green park and Carpet pier but not in any great numbers, been absolutely years since I seen or heard of lads catching cod or codling in Monkstown , I think them days are gone .

That's such a pity...

Carpet pier, can you drive onto it? Is it tidal?
And Green park - is it the beach right next to it?
Sorry to be asking all this, I've never fished there...
Thank you
