Wicklow mark

People:me

Duration:3hrs

Tide:rising

Weather:very nice at first but the wind shifted and rain followed

Bait:frozen razor,crab,squid,sandeel and fresh mackerel

Rigs:single flapper

Results:dogfish, mackerel

Catch and Release:: Yes/No, kept the mackerel



Report: Went out with the hope of a tope (just a small one :) ) so headed to a mark known to sometimes produce. Decided to start off with just sandeel in order to pick up my first doggie of the year ( :shock: !) and they didn't disapoint. It was nearly a dogfish a cast after that, only when I dropped in short for a few casts to try for flats did they stay away ( as did any flatfish ). Managed a solitary mackerel on feathers.

Were you on a Wicklow beach or on a pier?Just wondering cause I'm heading down to Newcastle this week-end

I was fishing a beach. I'd imagine that Newcastle would also hold loads of doggies along with the possability of one or two other species so hope you get a decent session, I would be interested to know how you get on there.

Fishing a club compo on Kilcoole this Saturday . . i'll let you know how it goes . .or has anyone been fishing there lately . . .havent fished North of Wicklow Town in a long time!!
