    Yeah, saw photos on facebook of cod in Monkstown. The weather the last few day should have a few moving up.

    There are some cod showing in the outer harbour but they are quite small. I would imagine that the wall would not throw up much. The water temperature has been quite high so hopefully with the next cold spell we might see a better run of fish (Bearing in mind that we didn't get any decent run last year).

    The best bait by a mile for the Wall is crab.
    There is further reading about the wall here: http://www.topfisher.eu/throwback-de-wall-at-monkstown-cork-cod-from-the-shore/?preview=true&preview_id=1309&preview_nonce=749cc6cdda&post_format=standard

    How would one catch a cod, Just cast out a bit of bait and retrieve slowly? From the beach or pier?

    For me it would preferably be off a beach, in a huge surf, 6oz lead, whole peeler crab on a 4/0 hook. Leave it alone till the rod starts dancing
