Greystones 2nd june 08

People:me

Duration:7-30pm-10pm

Tide:rising

Weather:sw breezes, fine otherwise

Bait:mushy rag, refrozen mack

Rigs:2 hook flapper

Results: 4 doggies, 4 whiting, 1 dab




Report:Headed out to greystones to try to put the blank at ennerilly behind me :oops: :oops: . Fished the rocks near the harbour across the bay from the swimming steps. The bagpiper was there again and it was a pleasure to hear him. Not so pleasurable was the sight of a seal staring up at me :shock: . I'm blaming his cousin for my blank in ennerilly so it didnt look good. On the third cast i got a typical doggie bite and sure enough there was one on. It was a good feeling lifting him out of the water (to be immediately returned) and the blank was disappearing into the mists of time (though i'm sure fishface will remind me :evil: ). I was getting bites regularly and in all got 4 dogs, 4 whiting and a dab on the last cast.As i was reeling in the dab i saw what i thought was a baby porpoise dead in the water drifting nearby. I tried to hook it with my rig but failed. Some kids told me they had seen a pod of porpoises earlier from the south beach. Funny how sometimes you can catch with bad bait and blank with the best of bait :shock: :roll: . Last minute decision to head out so in the rush i forgot my camera so sorry no pics!!! :? ,,,,,, but heres one of my fishing buddies instead :lol: :lol:

:o fished greystones on the 2nd of june myself! fished the swimming steps steps so if you saw two guys fishing that was me and my mate ian! we caught a few dogs flounder and a dab! yeah saw the bagpiper myself he was behind me on the small beach!

nice one you should have rang me i would have gone with you

Not a bad result fishing in daylight :wink:

A tip for when you fish that spot.

Park your car as far past the bend/up on the pavement as possible :idea: :idea: :idea:

Good fishing there Dave.
Not sure i would have stuck it out if I had to listen so some guy playing the bagpipes :lol: :lol:

I am surprised that didn't scare off all the fish :shock: :shock:

nice one you should have rang me i would have gone with you

Sorry Neil, you old smoothie :wink: ,,,, it was a last minute decision with about a dozen half dead worms and refrozen mack. More of a spin really,,,,,with the rod with me. If there was anybody else there i wouldnt have bothered setting up :roll: :roll: . If you fancy going out thursday (greystones) we can make arrangements.

Hi Aaron, yes I saw you and your mate alright. I was the guy (old codger) with the huge 50 yard cast :lol: :lol: . If I had told Fishface he would have been the one with the 200 yard cast :shock: :lol: :lol: .

Good fishing there Dave.

He scared the seal off Rockhunter :lol: :lol: . Seriously I should have brought him down to Ennerilly,,,,,,he has brought me luck in Greystones twice,,,,,,,,and he would have drowned out the slagging from Fishface (plaice and smoothound) :lol: :lol:

you make fishface sound like a god, dont put yourself down your better than him or hes your alter ego :wink: :lol:

I'll pm you my number, give me a call when you need to

whats all this about me being a great caster and a better fisherman than you dave? my best cast is around 120 yds with bait attached and thats on a good day. your not to shy of that mark yourself, and as for being the better fisherman-thats a load of rubbish, your the one with the bass this year, not me, so please stop putting me on a pedestal, all i do is try and give a little bit of advice, as i have been at it longer than you, sometimes the advice is right sometimes it is wrong but i hope it is beneficial to you. as for fishing on thursday night the answer is no, ( i still hate you) but to be serious i am driving to belfast the flight is at 6.30 in the morning(fri) will be in touch in 2 weeks time
