Re: monkstown
Fished it on Sat 16TH arrived after high water and fished the ebb.
The weather was better than the fishing
. Well catching 30cm whiting and 30cm to 40cm cod every cast can become monotonous.
I have my own way for the cod down here, 9 out of 10 times they hook themselves so it’s just a case of letting them out there for a few minutes on the hook to tire themselves out then they’re ready to be reeled in with no screaming and shouting about it
Fished from 13:30 to 15:30 aprox reeled in once without a fish.
Went there with 10 crab gave 2 to wrice before I left, he’s heading there tomorrow.
Best cod about 3lb.

Re: monkstown
Fished the Green patch Sunday evening for just over 2 hours....Codling every cast except one which resulted in a lobster....which was returned. Codling were upto 2.5lbs
Some poor fella got set up just after dusk only to find his headlamp was knackered so had one cast an went home.
What was alarming was some fella walking his dog who reckoned the area had been netted early Sunday morning!!!!
