Donaghadee Pier Session

Tried for a couple of hours on Donaghadee Pier on Saturday night. I had set up one rod baited with mackeral and squid and was setting up my second rod when the first gave a hard knock, followed by an even harder one, but then nothing. When I reeled it in, no fish, but the bait had been stripped off clean as a whistle. I thought that getting a good rattle like that so soon was a good sign, but it wasn't. I got a few more rattles, but all I managed to reel in was a tiny whiting and a large, very annoyed crab, who wouldn't let go of the bait and tried to take my fingers off into the bargain! As always, it was great to get a session in, but the lack of any half decent fish was worrying.

Sounds like Donaghadee alright mate....
It can be patchy enough at times... though I didn't have a bad session on it on the Friday night.

Keep at it mate.
