Wexford

#1 Post by jd »

Popped out for a few hours this afternoon.
Wind had turned southerly, and tide was low.
Managed to get fresh peeler + lug in the morning from Dave Scallans (on the road to the Wildfowl reserve) .
Caught 5 small codling -biggest about a pound or so-maybe a pound and a quarter.Missed one nicer fish-had him for a while, but when tackle came in it was obvious why he got away-weed covering the hooks!!
This evening would have been a better bet - rising tide.
Got a parking ticket on the quays too $%£" :( -forgot it was a disk parking area
jd (19 euros poorer)
ps rumours of some bass around Ballyhealy-parking is free too, so I may go there tomorrow.

Drove down to Ballyhealy Beach-shouldn't have bothered-didn't even take my rod out of the car. Then drove to St Helens- no luck -gave up after an houur. Ballytrent might have been more sheltered. Drove bck into Wexford town, 4 small codling in an hour or so..(to peeler-tide out and turning)

Popped down to St Helens-full tide and rag/peelers..
Loads of rattles on the rod, nothing substantial..
managed to catch 2 very small bass, who I hope to meet again in 10 years or so...
