Report:
Decided to hit off to East Cork to try for codling, had been down a couple of weeks ago with no success on the codling front but managed to get a pb flounder that measured 44cm.
Hit off from Limerick at 4am was about half way down when i realised that i had left my lunch on the kitchen table
Arrived at a mark at around 6.45am had hit bad patches of fog on the way down and had watched the temp guage in the van drop to minus 1 as i landed into cork. Got set up on and baits out in the water for the last hour of the outgoing so did not expect much at this stage. in my first 6 casts i had 3 codling 
confidence was up and i thought this could be a great day. Fished the whole way up to full with a couple of whiting and a couple of flounder late up near high water, but not a sign of another codling 
the whiting were definately in in numbers and in bait stripping form 
Met tightlines as the tide was turning, nice to meet you Alan, and thanks for the advice on the crab. As the tide turned it was getting harder and harder to hold the bottom and eventually hunger and tiredness hit so about 5pm called it a day, all in all delighted to get a few codling (biggest was 2.5lb). In the morning time around 9ish there was a mass of noise from the sky when i looked up there were crows (i think) in their hundreds massing up above me, so up when the hood took a couple of pics as i had never seen the amount of birds, didn't come out great but i'll put one up
had 2 codling and a few flounder!
