Report: Headed to Killiney last Friday afternoon to see if I could catch anything ( really looking for a bass, haven't got one ever) and despite some very useful info from Gazo, thanks, had no joy at all....I think it was just too calm and too nice a day. Decided to walk towards Sorrento point and tried fishing various rapalas etc. at whiterock / nudey beach for a while but not joy. There were a few Mr.Burns (think Simpsons) on the beach just in case anybody is thinking eye candy !!!
Rescued springer spaniel who had fallen over a wall into a load of brambles for elderly gent on the way across Sorrento points. Torn to bits and bleeding arrived at Coliemore and stared fishing. About 4 mackerel bashers around but they didn't stay long and soon had a large area to myself. Spent roughly 4 hrs here and was kept rather busy, didn't catch any monsters but an always impressed by the variety of fish you can get here.
Had so much fun on Friday went back out with the bro on Saturday and we had a good day. PJ & Piglet were to join us from the Midlands but didn't make it in the end.

I have 2 nice pics of two beautifully marked wrasse Roger caught at dusk on Saturday, will added them up later from home.

There was a bloke scuba diving on Saturday afternoon and he was taking starfish, sea urchin type things and any living thing off the seabed and passing them up to his mates to keep......Not sure what the point was and it definitely was not ecological sound. It is not the normal behavior from the divers you usually see around this area. Did ask what he thought he was doing but he didn't speak English ? Still fuming thinking about it....Muppet !!!!!!

did you get anything on killiney? and where did you buy the crabs?
nice fishing!

Eric,

got the crabs in ABC in Marys Abbey just off Capel Street.

Got just two possible bites in about 3 hours in Killiney but you know the way it works as soon as you decide to have a cup of coffee & a sambo......

must orginze a meet sometime and well get you you're bass, weather conditions sounded bad for bait fishing but perfect for spinning for them.
did the crabs work well,where they velvets or green crab.

The crabs were velvet and got some good knocks on them around sorrento point / Coliemore. From memory got 2 wrasse and one of the cod on the crab.

When the bait fishing was drawing a blank thought I would have some luck with spinners / lures and gave most of what I had with me a try. Tried Lucky Crafts "live pointer", Rapala countdowns & jointed minnow, dexter wedges and abu tobys .


Thanks a lot for the offer, keep me in mind and we can meet up.
(:D)

dont even remember going out :shock: or is their another dodger on de loose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roger I'd like to think you are a once off ...unique :wink: :) :) .......the other Roger (the Imposter) is one of my brothers......


anyways I have put the pics of the wrasse Roger (the imposter) got from the rocks at Sorrento on Saturday in my album, available through my profile I do believe.
