    G'day...

    Has anyone been successful in tempting a few Codling ashore.
    Went to Easky (Sligo) and the mate got two small ones, but
    all I could find was everything else, mainly Coalies and Pollack.
    Had some nice Flounder, almost a kilo, and he had a Bull Huss.

    6 of us fished Greenore on Sunday evening, and nobody got anything at all. Not even a doggie!

    Hi Acidflash

    Keem would not be a cod mark in any event given the sand bottom. I was told by a local man that it fishes best in calm conditions, which is very far off what you would expect but he was the one catching fish! ;-)

    Far better for your brother to try the broken ground to the west of Purteen Harbour - these rock platforms would be extremely dangerous in anything other than calm conditions, but they offer very deep water access over very rough ground (expect to lose loads of weights). A one hook pulley rig with a big bait and a rotten bottom link onto a junk weight is the best option - hope to try it over the Christmas. That and the Kilcummin flags...

    FWIW

    Did'nt really have a chance to go fishing over Christmas-
    pooped down to the quays in wexford with a bag of mussels from the fishmongers but nothing doing..I guess the river may have been a bit silty from the prolonged rain for the cod (I should have moved off looking for flounder)
