A good show of cod in Cork Harbour in recent days

December 14th, 2012 | by Myles Kelly

Eire Bass guide Richie Ryan reports on good cod fishing in Cork Harbour during the week. Having been out the previous week, the guide felt that the cod were too scarce for a decent session. However, as often happens in fishing , Cian his son and close friend and keen angler Paul Carroll had a great session in just a small area in the harbour. The average cod was 3-4 lbs weight with some in the 5-6 lb range. 40 cod were hooked up in a short period with the vast majority returned to fight another day, as can be seen from the YouTube video below.


Having just completed a course on video editing run by Jim Clohessy for the Cork Angling hub, this is the guides first attempt to put a fishing report together using this format. Richie reports that it was a superb course and it was kindly sponsered by Failte Ireland.

From Inland Fisheries Site Nov 2012 :

Whilst fishing a local shore mark for bass recently, guide Richie Ryan got talking to an angler next to him about fishing.

The local fisherman, Noel O Sullivan, expressed his total frustration at not being able to to catch his first bass. Never one to

shy from a challenge, Richie explained who he was and agreed to take him out if he had an available slot on his boat.

A few weeks later Noel was invited to join Sea Hawk with the Eire Bass guide and as the picture shows landed his first

bass with another on the next cast.The lure was the ever popular Savage Gear Sandeel.Needless to say Noel was chuffed

and spent the rest of the day smiling !

To conclude the story,last week Richie rang Noel again for another session.Though mad keen to go himself, he kindly offered

his place to his son TJ who wanted to catch his elusive first bass also. .As can be seen, this angler also had his first bass with the guide,

with three more to follow, also on the Savage Gear Sandeel. Two happy anglers......

From Inland Fisheries Ireland:

John Harrison from Lisgoold was on a recent bassing trip with Eire Bass guide Richie Ryan. During the session John kept asking searching questions about the navy from the guide. John knew of course that Richie had recently retired from the Naval Service and was anxious to pick his brains.The picture shows John holding a fine 6lb. bass , his first ever bass. The fish was returned safely to Cork Harbour.
Guess what, John was accepted as a recruit in the Irish Naval Service recently, so his bassing session paid dividends !
