Winter Cod fishing....

Are you one of those anglers who dreams of good cod fishing? Well Cork Harbour does have great cod fishing during the winter months and can offer the angler a great prospect of bagging a good catch of cod! The Commodore Hotel has teamed up with Geary Angling Services to offer you the chance to target these cod. For an all inclusive price of €69 you can have one day's fishing with Donie Geary, skipper of the John Boy, and one night's bed & breakfast at the Commodore Hotel. You can upgrade this package to include high tea of haddock and chips and a pint of guinness (or beer/lager of your choice) for an all inclusive price of €85 per person. Now that's great value!!! This offer is limited to groups of eight or more and is available from October 2011 through to March 2012.

If the last two seasons are anything to go by then the cod fishing should be hectic. Cobh Sea Angling Club have held light line competitions during this winter period and in many cases anglers were catching 50+ codling a trip. Have a look at these reports to give you an idea: March 2011 and April 2010.

Admittedly, many of the codling have been in the 1-2lb range. However, a good proportion of the fish have also been in the 3-4lb range aswell. This year we expect many of the fish to be bigger again as there has been superb fishing on the offshore reefs for large cod over the summer. In fact, if weather permits

Donie may opt to try the outer reefs for larger fish. However, the beauty of Cork Harbour is that it can be fished in all weathers and many of the marks that have been producing over the last two winters have been in the Harbour itself.

Best baits for the fishing is undoubtedly peeler crab and lugworm. Mussel can also be effective. If the outer reefs are fished, then mackeral baited hokkai's are the best option.

If you and your group would be interested in targeting the cod then Mary Geary of Geary Angling Services would only be too happy to give you as much information as possible. Give Mary a buzz on 021-4812167 or email on seaangling@esatclear.ie, or alternatively, you can contact Mary O' Mahony on 021-4811277 or by email on commodorehotel@eircom.net.

Extract from Cork Examiner Mon 17th October 2011

AN EXTRACT FROM THE CORK EXAMINER MONDAY 17TH OCTOBER 2011.
Kenmare-born Australian expatriate Frank O'Shea reflects on a recent visit to Cobh aboard the cruise ship, the Dawn Princess.
"The Dawn Princess which called to Cobh on July 24th carried 2000 passengers;....Passengers were still talking about the Reception they received in Cobh ("Cove, ma'am, not Cobe") and the effort that was made by the town to welcome them. They spoke about the bands and the music and the Irish dancing; they recalled the flowerpots and the gaily painted houses and the Australian flags.
Everyone was deeply affected by the way the town turned out to wave them off - the only port in the world to do so.
Three-quarters of the passengers were Australian. The remainder came from New Zealand and put up with their move to the second rank as Cobh declared July 24th Australia Day....
One man spoke about the many thousands for whom the last glimpse they would have of their native land was the same one he had as the Dawn Princess pulled slowly away.
Perhaps some context here would be useful. The liner docked at 40 ports in its round-the world cruise....Yet a number of those to whom I spoke put the six hours they spent in Cobh as the highlight....
This is surely a reminder that one of the best ways Ireland might get out of its economic mess is to use its strengths: hospitality and the ability to make people feel welcome.
Let's get back to what we have always done well. Bravo Cobh, for showing the way."

I'M SURE YOU'LL AGREE WITH ME THAT THIS ARTICLE IN A NATIONAL PAPER IS A GREAT BOOST FOR THE TOWN. WE AT THE COMMODORE HOTEL WERE SO PROUD READING IT.
IF YOU WANT TO BOOK FOR 2012 LINER SEASON OUR 2012 RATES ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE www.commodorehotel.ie
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU TO COBH AND THE COMMODORE HOTEL
