Here we go again, about this time of year when the cod run is on its last legs and the wall and Cobh have become a bit of a bore. Myself and Geordie turn to the beaches. For no better reason than the surfs up and its not raining, yet with little or no chance of a fish we are magnetically drawn to the sandy foreshore for big casts and dreams of May and June. Below left: Bally Cronneen  freezing cold but fantastic all the same.

We arrived at dawn three hours before high water and the surf looked great. Our first choice was to have been Ballybrannigan but weed had made it unfishable though this looked a good second choice.

 

 

 

With frozen crab, fresh lug and a mackerel all got from Sharkies last night at 9.30pm we felt we would be in with a chance. Not to be though, we were just to early in the year. Brilliant morning none the less and ever the optimists we never stopped hoping. Below left: one of a bag of codling caught over the Holidays on the wall, makes you wonder why we bothered to go to a beach today. Get down to a beach this week and you'll soon know why. ...................................Chris

PS Sharkie has moved to his own home, open longer and bigger shop.
