The Jimmy Smith 2011 Report

Hi All,

in an effort to get more anglers posting informative accounts of comps etc lets start here with your brief account from the biggest shore comp held in years. Basically where you fished ( Zone ) how you done ( fish qty and species) would do for now. It would be a great resource for the future and hopefully would lead to more anglers posting on Open comp posts.

Hope that makes sense? now spill your guts, where were you and what did you catch

Cheers All.

ok ok
i was on peg 107
on the peg beside dave roe [ well done dave] i had 14 flounders , ann whitty was beside me on 106 , she had 10 flounders and won the ladies prize

Had 18 flats myself (5 under) on morriscastle, lug & maddies with the odd crab leg took nearly them all. All fish inside the bank, only crab & shrimp outside by the look of it.

Thought it was going to be my day when I saw the below infront of my peg, alas not to be!!

fished peg one on morriscastle myself thaught i was on to a banker on an end peg not to be found it difficult to locate the fish at the start then had a few before low water another quiet spell at low and an hour or so of action at the start of the ebb nothing in the last hour. finished with 11 flats and a small bass mostly to lug and maddies. got well hockeyed by paudie o driscool on my right who finished with 17 for a zone fourth.


btw great thread kstaff hopefully could become a trend

was on ballinoulart 143, had no maddies so knew i was kicking a dead dog

had brendan wall beside me who was very impressive with his triple shot first cast

with pretty much everyone else around me catching on the first cast i knew the odds were against me, when i blanked

got a counter on my second cast and another 2 casts later - but the lads were all 1s and 2s each cast

it was pretty manic at the start with lads wanting cards signed on all sides

ended up with 4 in the end all counting - 3 lug and mac 1 mac and rag

very nice gent to my left also from the north who was scoring well and had a dab and a pout at distance

as ive said already - last off the beach and couldnt believe the carnage - as jakes said in comp section, just as well it finished up at night as id imagine any dog walkers and other beach users would get a very bad impression of us anglers with the place dotted with dead tiddlers

you should nearly have to digorge properly before your allowed take your next cast out of the water written into the rule book if your going to bother with the release of the fish - rant over

i was peg 38 in morriscastle and fishing was poor mostly flounder inside the bank from all around with one or two outside and a few dabs ouside.seen a few lads near me in higher numbers looks like they blanked the lower numbers seemed to fish better.had 2 flounder on first two casts and only 2 weavers between that and 7 when i was going to pack up when i got a dab so hung on and got flounder next cast on my last cast tried for dogs with no luck ended with 4 fish.

I was on Tinnabeara peg 62 only had 4 and 3/4 weavers. Beelo won the zone with 17 Great comp fairplay to southshore!

Peg 60 Balinoulart,seven fish,1 dab,6 flounders,all in.largest fish.31cm,maddies,lug and small crab baits worked for me. Well done Southshore on a great comp.marred slightly by a long wait for final result ,lots of cards incorrectly added up, apparently. roll on the Seiko.

peg 60 Ballinamona,that should read

great idea keith i was on peg 2 morrisecastle ended with 17 fish great comp it would be nice to see the full results hopefully south shore will post soon as i believe every angler should know where he has finished in all competitions

got an email from frank baxter with the result but i cant open it!

this is the "short cut"

3 fish peg 77 tinnaberna bait not getting a chance with crabs tried for a hound for last hour no joy

managed one counter on my fourth cast on peg 65 on tinnaberna there was also a couple of blankers nearby i had 350maddies, blacks,fresh crabs, lug at all stages frozen and dayold fresh mack and razor my excuse is if the fish are not on front of you , you cant catch them

Was on peg 146 thought i was going to have a great session with 2 doubles in the first 2 cast then had only 2 fish for the rest of the comp . all fish were taken with either maddies or snakes as a tipping bait with lug and wraps as main bait .

was on peg 6 balinoulart end of morriscastle 13 fish nothing between half 5 and half 7 then 2 fish in last half hour lug and maddies caught everything

WAS ON PEG 23 NO FISH FIRST 2 HOURS 9 FLATS IN TOTAL

i cant even remember my peg number think it was ninety somthing.. caught 15 flats and 2 schoolies. Went through about 1000 maddies and wished i had more! found the fish werent feeding that hard very picky. It really was great to see so many anglers, wish there were more big comps throughout the year.

peg 11 i think, enjoyed the comp, nice weather and loads of fish, caught all mine on lug and maddies.

many hounds got???
