RIGS
codling0601.JPG (19402 bytes) Small codling can be found over most grounds fishing from Holyhead, out towards Langdon Ridge, west to Holyhead Deep and around to corner in Trearddur Bay. 

The numbers of codling though are not that consistent and vary throughout the year. They can range from just under a lb to a good 6lb'er. I've yet to land anything bigger on My Way over the last couple years. It seems most of the codling holiday for winter in the River Mersey.

Rigs again don't need to be complicated. I would suggest a simple running ledger and of around 4 - 6ft long and on the business end either 1 large hook or preferably 2 large hooks forming a pennel rig.
Locating cod on the drift over rough ground or wrecks, baited white feathers or hokeyes work well.

METHOD
Best tactics for fishing for cod around Holyhead are uptiding. Using big baits to help entice that elusive cod to your hook.
