North Wexford beaches, Wexford, Sunday/Monday 23rd/24th Jan

#1 Post by John D »

People:Me and codswollop

Duration:A couple of hours on the Sunday evening and a couple of hours on the Monday afternoon.

Tide:Unsure

Weather:Very light breezes, very calm seas, dirty water, cold, dry, slightly clouded.

Bait:Fresh lug.

Rigs:2 hook paternoster with 4/5 oz leads.

Results:Me: 1 flounder, 1 pin whiting. Codswollop: 1 codling, 1 tiny coalfish.




Report:We weren't expecting too many codling or bass considering how flat the sea was. We did however expect more flounder, coalfish and whiting. Disappointing results but a very enjoyable trip. We didn't catch anything on the Sunday evening. All fish came in a flurry between 15:45 and 16:45 on the Monday afternoon. No fish on the Sunday or Monday when darkness fell??!!
