Would have thought the beaches would have thrown up a few cod yesterday havent even caught one whiting myself .That chopper is savage you can hear the thing from miles away

[southaussie]

still good to get a few fish roger the helicopter landed in the field behind arklow south beach a year or so ago they were training and even let the lads climb inside, massive thing kids were chuffed, the rockling are in force everywhere winter doggies , shame they stink

Hi there,
Was doing a bit of fishing down south over the weekend.
On low tide in the dark myself and my mate caught a few small, what looked like
codling. My fish looked slightly different however.

You might be able to help
Very like your first photo - dorsal fin all down back, light brown in colour, very small eyes more to the top of the head. caught in sandy area on lug.

Perhaps it was a codling but would like to be sure. No pic as it was returned quickly.

Any ideas

Ro
