Report: As I had the day off I decided to use up my leftover bait in Bray Harbour. It was deserted when I arrived and I wondered did everyone else know something that I didnt :? . A voice in my head was shouting,,, "THE EAST WIND KILLS THE FISHING".,,,, BUT I got a shore rockling on my first cast, happy days :lol: :lol: ,,, yes I can get excited by a shore rockling :oops: . The next 2 hours were fruitless and I was about to go home when I had ,,,,,,yes,,, 1 last cast :wink: . I felt a rattle on the rod and I reeled in a whiting. At this stage there were other anglers there, with nobody catching anything, so I was feeling well chuffed 8) . This encouraged me to stay longer and a little later I reeled in a huge clump of weed :cry: . Luckily there was another whiting hidden in the weed :wink: . As a crowd of tourists watched my casting abilities I had a big crack off :oops: and pretended that it was an Irish custom that you had to make an offering to the sea god if you caught a fish :roll: :lol:. I left (minus a lead and rig) for home at 5'30pm.
