Report:
I was determined to get a few hours fishing in this weekend despite the poxy weather, I wasn't too optimistic with the high winds but I figured Killiney would be fairly sheltered so I decided to give it a go. When I got there I realised that it wast quite as sheltered as I hoped but was still fishable. The high winds made spotting bites difficult so I decided to only use the heavier rod, rigged up with a pulley pennel and a big lug / razor bait and cast as far as I could, which isn't really that far
. It was starting to look like it might be the first blank of the year but then I saw a little rattle on the rod and reeled in a Shore Rockling (I think), encouraged by this I decided to stick it out a little longer. I was glad I did as it wasn't long until I got an unmissable bite but by the time I picked up the rod the line was slack, I was sure I had missed it but I reeled in and thankfully the fish was still on. I was delighted when I saw a nice plump codling appear in the surf. 
and surprised when it tipped the scales at 4lb 2oz. I was tempted to bring him home for tea but decided to put him back to fight another day. I stayed a little longer to see if there were any more cod about but I didn't get any more bites so I decided to call it a night.
