ARE THE COD IN YOUGHAL/MONKSTOWN YET

I hate to disappoint but trying to find few cod on the boat outside the harbour was very hard this year not alone setting up on the wall for few hours!! Awhfull pity nice way to spend few hours over the holidays an all if there was few there..

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

Waterford is worth a try but it’s very patchy, pm if you want some info, I’ll be out over Christmas hopefully.

Fished the wall this morning at Low tide for 2 hours, nothing but a Crab....
