Calling all Corkonians

#1 Post by kieran »

Hi all

I am down in Cork next week on business and ahem, I was thinking of bringing a rod and the camera into the car on the off chance I might get a line wet. I plan on fishing between Crosshaven south and west towards perhaps Courtmacsharry but more probably Kinsale at most as my time will be limited. I have to drive back to Nenagh that day! High tide is listed for Cobh at 15:30 hours. Weather is predicted as light winds from WNW, slight possibility of rain, temperature around 18 C outside sunshine.

I'll have to leave the harbour and east coast for another day. Obviously I know a few marks myself but I would really happy to try some new places - anyone got recommendations on where and what to use?

BTW, the person who mentioned the possibility of getting Bream from the shore, can you please send me a PM or an email!?!

Thanks
Kieran Hanrahan

Time spent fishing is never time wasted...

2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks

Sorry I missed you Kieran, I was on hols in Majorca. No fishing for me but I saw loads of mullet in the Porta Nous harbour and I watched a guy using a pole to catch what looked like gold bream to me. They were silver fish, six inches with a gold band behind the gills.

By the way I saw a post regarding your hols and mullet. If you want to catch mullet check out the River Lee on any sunny day. The big ones must be at least 5lb weight. I wouldn't be bringing them home to the pan though.

Hi BigKev

I be negotiating with the taxman on behalf of a client and restructuring his business so that it makes profits rather than losses! Next time I am down I will PM you in advance and we might meet up for a pint or two 8)

G'luck
