killliney

People:me and james

Duration:7-11.30

Tide:full at 12

Weather:mild and windy

Bait:lug,squid,rag and mackerel

Rigs:tope traces,pulleys and flapper

Results:dogfish,whiting,coalies and codling

Catch and Release:: Yes



Report:my camera man got a much needed brake off school so i decided i'd treat him to a night session on killiney. with a spring tide on the flood there where high hopes on a tope, but each mackerel flappers 20min stint in the water did nothing for our hopes not even a dog, at least the crabs got fed. infact for the first three hours resulted in nothing more than a lot of waisted bait and a velvet swimmer. then out of nowhere the fish decided it was time time to eat, pity it was getting late and bait was getting scarce! we reeled in a few nice whiting an the obligatory mini codling. then i landed the biggest fish of the night, a dog, yes thats how bad it was. before packing up i was very pleased to see my final cast result in a double shot of a nice coalie(my first one this year, picture doesn't do it justice) and another mini codling. i should get some vids put up later of our escapades.

Report:the second part of my weekends fishing, the camera man could not make it so i set off to fish sorento point,the whiting were quite good averaging the 35cm mark

dalkey i caught two fish which i could not identify, the first is a angler fish typed body with a gurnard/sea scorpion head.

the second, which i did not get a pick of, as my battery went dead was a flat fish that looked a bit like a dab with what i can only describe as a peppering of black on its skin and a smooth back both ways, definitley not a flounder or plaice. help anyone?

looks like a dragonet

yeah did some research and it is a female dragonet.i didn't think they got this far northeast.

no one has any ideas for the other fish then :roll:

where the whiting in the slack water in front at sorrento or at distance?

before the tide turn't i was basically uptiding for mini codling, fierce current there alright. they bigger whiting arrived about three hours after high water at distance on ragworms tipped with sandeel.

cheers Eric. can fish well there sometimes. never found the ebb fished as well as the flood but haven't fished it a lot.
