People:Myself
Duration:Half to til
Tide:High water around 6
Weather:Fine at first but turning into a hurricane for the last hour and a half
Bait:Fresh peeler
Rigs:1 up 1 down flapper (1/0) and clipped (2/0)
Results:3 codling, 2 whiting (surprise, surprise)
Report:First cast produced my first codling of the year, but it was nothing to write home about (about 15 - 20cm). Got another that was just less then a pound followed by another smaller one. About 12 lads from Dublin then arrived and all of a sudden the beach was jammers (good to see it though). As darkness fell the whiting began to plague us. the lads were racking them up using lug and 3 hook flappers but I kept on with the crab in the hope of more cod. When the rain began to appear horizontal, I decided it was time to pack up
Not a great result but good to see the small cod in the river - hopefully a sign of things to come
