Codling Showing Yet?
Anyone seeing any cod showing on the east coast yet, particularly on any of the Wicklow or Wexford beaches?

I'll get out in the next few weeks around Shankill hopefully. That's a good spot for them. Worth a try anyway.

Re: Codling Showing Yet?
Will hopefully get out tonight and fish the incoming tide.
Does anyone have any opinions as to whether to hit Garryvoe or Ballinwilling? Will be fishing second half of the rise.

Re: Codling Showing Yet?
Garryvoe last night end of the path where it meets the caravan park. Nothing only a very small strap conger. Last 2.5 hours of rise and first of ebb.
Large sandeel and mackerel combo on one rod, lug on the other. No scratching done.
Flat calm conditions no weed so pleasant to fish in. Tide was very small yesterday so hopefully it will be better as the tides strengthen
