Lug with a mac tip is a fantastic bait in the river...Can be hit and miss unless your at the right spot

Three of us fished Arthurstown friday night, no sign of these famous Cod!

Plenty of Small Whitening, Coalies, Dabs, Flounder and the od small Codling.

Used Mack, Lug, Squid and Peeler. Fished various distances....

Unlucky Danny. I though that they would be still there on Friday. I'm guessing the rain on Saturday and Sunday pushed them out of the river :?:

Hi lads

Out fishing last night and this morning not much doing i think all the rain at weekend has put a lot of fresh water into river this seems to put the cod of feeding for a while or they move down river a bit.

There was a real snotty North East blowin' as well which I find is never good for the Fishing..I'm sure they will come back though.Maybe Ferrypoint would be worth a bash soon :?:

fished the river today lads for an hour,had 2 cod of 3 and 5lb in 3 casts.the rain always puts the cod of feeding and it generally takes a couple of tides to flush out the rain water :lol:

Yeah...there is too much grass weed in Youghal at the moment.The temp needs to drop a few degrees to kill it off also a big gale or two should do the trick and bring in our friends the Codling !!!
