Report:
Out of kilmore about 9.30 with the ever dependable Eamon Hayes. No mac to be found, some of the other boats got 3 or 4 we were told so with the sea breeze and the tide dropping we headed out near carnsore to try get a drift going which proved difficult at times with the wind counteracting the current, but Eamon nonetheless kept plugging away trying different spots with the constant mantra (which is now firmly stuck in my head
) Come on cod !!! We all got into a few fish, nothing hectic, I reckon everybody got over ten anyway, Plenty of ballan and a few codling making up most of the fish taken on board. Had the finest of fresh cod for the good friday dinner and will definitely be returning again in the near future
i would give an estimate at 4 lbs +. Nothing gigantic but strong enough to stop you winding on the way i and have to lift a bit. Very enjoyable altogether
