Waterford City(ish), 2-1-10

#1 Post by somedose »

People: Myself, James and a friend

Duration: About 4 hours

Tide:Rising

Weather:Cold but calm

Bait:Frozen peeler

Rigs:3/0 and 4/0 clipped and pulleys

Results:6 codling




Report:Went down to river and decided to give it a go for some cod. Met 3 other anglers upon arriving who had only had a few flounder after a few hours fishing. Things weren't looking good on the cod front but looking at the coloured water we were quietly confident. Had a codling on the second cast and followed that with another 3 for the rest of the session. James and Connor got one a piece. They weren't big (about 30cm) but still bigger than anything we caught in Scotland! Weirdly we didn't get any whiting or flounder - go figure :|
Species 2010 - Cod

Fished near the city myself recently and was plagued by small ones, the rod bouncin within a minute of castin out. cant seem to do better than 30cm on the suir so far. tried youghal a while ago and everything i got was bigger down there. Gonna give it another go tomorrow night so if we come across anything worth while i'll stick up a post
