5/4/08 Limerick, Shannon Estuary. they're back!!!!!

[gearoid mc s.]

People:me

Duration:12:00-3:00

Tide:Spring low " 12:20

Weather:sunny with light north westerly

Bait:mackerel

Rigs:pennell clipped

Results:5 ray to 5lbs :D :D :D




Report:Arrived alot later than i wanted but its tough gettin out of bed early on a saturday morning!! nothing unusual to report got the fish all through the session with 4 out of the 5 fish being males which is unusual, must be because its so early in the season. I also missed two more definate ray bites which im not too worried about no point in being greedy! lost a rig to a snag and pulled out a few more times due to the rig being pushed into weed by the strong tide which is not the best tide to fish here..no conger either:(

Great fishing Gearoid. Was thinking of going down that way next Tuesday/Wednesday. Any pointers gratefully received - where to fish/tide, etc.

Have you ever fished Littor Strand or Kilterry Pier?

Theres ray in the estuary all year round just there are summer & winter marks..youll understand that i wont be disclosing that info here though!!!

yes of course one has ones pm facility for such sensitive information (dont send them to me i love a ray and chips ) :roll: must admitt after working in alcan for three months years ago i tend to avoid the area :lol:

Well done Gearoid,
its nice to see it warming up around there, might give it a go the weekend even if it means i have to work late a few nights to get jobs done it should be worth it,

Well done on the rays. I presume your fishing the same mark I had the 4lber two weeks back.

The rays seem to have bypassed to the outter makrs of the estuary with only dogs showing out there at the moment.
