Report:only today i feel brave enough to post my first report..tried the inside of the east pier,gorgeous weather to go fishing. set up my float rig and started fishing around 1. only 10mins and bang!i initially thought i was caught in the weed but quickly realized i was actually on a big fish. after the battle in the water,my argos reel on my argos rod couldnt reel the fish up,so i had to lift the rod up on the pier... :lol: :lol: the result was a nice wrasse. happy like a baby,i take a quick pic and release the lady. caught a few tiny pollack as well, but the wrasse will stay for longer in my mind.

p.s. : i really like the website and get all my tips from it

p.s. 2 : my picture is 1.25 Mb, im not being able to attach it, any help?

I hear ya! I know that you all have your marks and all...i only (re)started fishing quite recently,I used to fish as a kid in Sicily. I like the sport but fairly new to Irish shores :roll:

nice fish salvo well done

a 6lbs+ wrasse every cast, now that would be something. any pics of those fish paul, they sound like beasts

stick with it.

even if you were only able to visit 1 new venue a month, in a year you would have a dozen decent venue at your disposal.

keep an eye on the shore angling reports here on the site and try and get to the hot spots while they are producing.

it is really only by meeting other angler on the beach/pier/boat that you can really learn, websites/books and magazines are all well and good but the best way to learn is to meet people

hey paul.
any chance of seen some pictures of the 6lb+ wrasse you get on every cast from waterford.

NICE WRASSE Salvo.

had them on my fone an would you believe i left the fecken thing on a bus last night, all my fishing photos and phone nos are gone :cry: :cry: :cry: dont think i will get a chance to get out again to the mark before the season ends but i will do my best.

if you want the mark pm me and il gladely share it.
