i believe squid works well, although I Wouldnt know much about the west coast. There was a great article in last months Sea Angler magazine on Cod fishing.

Hi Taz

have had some codling myself off Sligo coast around Mullaghmore, on a few occasions this year, but nothing of any size yet.

You may benefit from a chat to some of the charter skippers who may know some marks or maybe Doug in " A Shore thing " in Westport may know more !!
