People: me and fmd
Duration: 19.30 to 22.30
Tide: low 22.00
Weather: breezy from NW
Bait: crab razor lug mac, whiting
Rigs: flappers and pulleys
Results: whiting fest and 2 flounder
Report: not much to report just bait robbing whiting - cleaning 2/0 pennells and swallowing 2 size 6s in a go - not much fun - all 15-25 cm in size - just about a bit of interest with 3 bigger lads on - but then you know in your heart of hearts its going to be another 3 of them when it breaks the water!
any bait was gone - including a bit of canabalism
one question i do have is a lot of them appear to have cod worm on the gills
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diseases_a ... tes_in_cod
or other parasites, with large growths at the back of the mouth/gills
many others finding that on the waterford estuary - or in general?

Might be worth freezing down an infected fish and getting it to the Dept of Marine.

Re: Duncannon, wexford 10/04/14
Back in the early nineties, every whiting that was caught off the Wicklow beaches were infested with those. Haven't seen them in a while, then again, haven't seen a decent Whiting in a while either.
