People:me and big mick
Duration:me- 8pm-12am,,,,big mick-3.30pm-12am
Tide:me high down
Weather:cool southerly breeze, calm sea, no rain
Bait:rag, mack sandeel
Rigs:1 hook clipped down, 2+3 hook flappers
Results:me,, 2 small dabs,,,,, mick,, 1 dab, 1 whiting
Report:Went out to bray to collect bait for Sunday evening and decided to check out the Harbour. There were a few people fishing and I spotted my workmate Big Mick ( who I thought had snuck out without telling me :evil: ,,, till I checked my messages :oops: :oops: ). By the time I got there that evening (8pm) mick hadnt had a bite :cry: . The fishing had been very poor according to others on the pier and I was happy enough to land 2 small dabs for the night, plus about 15 crabs :evil: . Some teenagers next to me had the catch of the night with a nice sized coalie, approx 35 cms, which they quickly photographed and returned :wink: , which was nice to see. Most of the other anglers were leaving disappointed so I counted myself lucky. The most exciting thing that happened was when Bray scored against Cobh Ramblers, you want to have heard the roar from the Carlisle grounds :lol: :lol: . I was only home when i started wondering about what was in store for Sunday evening, we (anglers) must be the eternal optimists :roll: :wink:. Thats the thing, you just never know :? :wink:

Great report (as always :wink: ) eyes,
I've fished Bray and Greystones a good bit now and whilst all around me seem to catch a few coalies, not me unfortunately :oops:, I'll have it added to the species list sooner or later though :)
Like you say....Ever the optimist's us anglers :roll:
