COD Fishing
Fishing for cod in the rocky water around the Portpatrick is normally done with a lure of around 12oz weight with a single gummi makk eel like lure attached with a further 2 on droppers above . Cod can also be caught using other lures,sidewinder eels,many forms of bait and on the smaller tides, they like a speed-jig of no more than 12oz.
Please note that cod are present in the waters off Portpatrick but not in the same numbers that are caught from North Sea ports..they are a bonus ,not a target and a 6lb fish is a good specimen. We are also fortunate to see "Red" OR "Kelp" every year whilst inshore pollack fishing
