Glin-Shannon Estuary-28 Dec

Wed Dec 29, 2004 2:26 pm

Fished last night in blustery rain and wind from 5pm till 10 pm, high water 6pm.Mackerel and sandeel.
This will be the shortest report Ive ever posted. 5 bites, 1 fish.A dab bumping the scales at 1 1/2, maybe 2 ounces.
Still, blew away the mince pies and hangovers

I fished Glin twice (once the day before this) over chrimas but only got a sea trout and a lost fish which gave a good scrap until it fell off with shock leader in site. I think the rough conditions due to the westerlies didn't do the mark any good. On my last session after dark at the start of a neap flood my bait was being hammered by whiting. I had no time to make up rigs so I only had ones with 2/0 hooks so no hook ups. Neilus tells me hes had specimen dab on this mark in January.
