    Hi All,

    New to the Dublin fishing scene and was looking for a good spot around Dublin south to do a bit of shore fishing? Looking for Codling this time of year really as the mackerel are probably gone. I have only fished for mackerel but was wondering on what kind of tackle would secure a few codling? Can i use the feathers for them too?

    Cheers,
    Stephen

    Crab would be the bait for the codling I doubt the feathers would work from the shore
    Don't really know if there are cod marks around your area as I often see dubs fishing for the cod in monkstown , cork

    about 20 years ago i used to get plenty of codling and small whiting of the west pier in dunlaoghaire, using
    mackerel strips.
    don't know what its like there now, but they were in it one time.

    Try Killiney Beach, always a few fish knocking about there, and give the lads in the tackle shop in Shankill a shout and they'll fill you in on baits and species etc..
