The Bay

Postby anthony byrne » Sat May 23, 2015 8:51 pm

I was hoping to head North this weekend as Graham Smith has been on the Tope this week but with the weather so messed up I decided not to make the 8 hour round trip, hindsight's a bitch as the lads were on good fish early morning !
I ended up fishing the local bay in search of wrasse. First fish of the day was a Ballon which fell to rag

From there things went quiet for awhile so switched over to some shrimp rigs I picked up cheap at the swords show. A couple of jigs in and the Pollock started to turn up. Just a few tiddlers at first but then had one over 30cm, not a giant but better than the previous ones

I headed futher into the bay in the hope of some flats but it wasnt to be, the pin Whiting were in force stripping all the baits that went in.

It's a bugger when you make a decision and the alternate one works out better but at least you got out and got a few fish. :D
