No not really all just around 1 to 1.5lb. Lots of coddling been caught at Ballycreannan and Ballywilling, but again of similiar size. Great fish been caught on the boats just off shore. However a trawler was operting about 2 miles out from us on Sunday night and if they keep at it our hopes of a great coddling season this winter will disappear. If the coddling don't rattle your cage at that size, plenty of dogs are ray are showing so its well worth a visit.
