Report:We took a chance on Tinnaberna as it usually throws up a few cod round this time year, so armed with great bait we headed down to be greeted by a nice surf on the beach and headed up to the left as usually fishes better. Cod was the target of this trip.

1st cast a small flounder
2nd cast small coalie
3rd cast Codling of 39

Then nothing for a while till Seirt got a rockling, left us scratching our heads to why so poor? Was it this mild weather? Was it slight Easterly? So we moved up the beach so see what might happen on the dropping tide, on my 2nd cast i managed a double rockling but no cod

1 more move back towards the car park saw me get another smaller cod but not what we no can come of this beach

At round 9 we called it quits and packed up for long spin home still scratching our heads as to why such poor fishing from this great beach.

i think its outfished , is one of my favourite spots in ireland for the bass and tope, but go there a few times during the summer, and you could have 20 anglers every night, i think more than outfished between anglers and swimmers the sea bed is very disturbed, thats my outlook on tinnaberna????
