Results: 9 coalie, 6 codling and 3 whiting
Report: This was our first trip out in ages so we had a notion that the one species that has eluded us is cod so we decided a cod session was on the cards, due to a lack of cod where we fish we decided to hit towards Cork. We stopped off at Dan's place in halfway Angling Centre and stocked up on peeler crab, i could spend a day in that shop
stocked up with bait off we set for the mark, we were set up and fishing for 5pm on the out going tide. With in minutes on landing the coalies got stuck into our baits, good bit of crack with fish up to about a pound at about 8.30 Bassmania shouted down would a foul hooked baby Cod count, 
his first Cod, with the sign of the wee one we were hopeful that a mammy or daddy cod might be close by. After a short while another yelp of joy came from the other lad, a lovely codling of about 1.5 pounds, at this stage the coalies were decreasing in size and stripping my baits 
i truly belive at this point any codling in the area was hanging around near Bassmania 
as he had another 4, thoughts of tying explosives to my traces were now running through my mind
when one of my rods took a good rattle, as i struck in i could feel resistance, this was either a decent size fish or a coalie on speed 
At last my first ever codling came to the surface, not embarrassed to say it but i was yelping like a gobshite Defo be going back down for another crack at the codling. Dinner sorted tomorrow 
Right it is now about 4.30 so off to the bedRegards
