People: Me
Duration: 6.15 - 7.45 pm
Tide: HW at 5.40 pm
Weather: Overcast, slight southerly wind
Bait: Rag worm
Rigs: 1 and 2 hook paternosters (size 1/0 and 3/0 hooks)
Results: 1 ballan wrasse, 1 dogfish
Report: I dug some rag for the weekend in the afternoon and decided to head out for a short session on Friday evening.
I baited one rod with rag and did some plugging/spinning with a second.
Sortly after casting out the bait rod I got a strong bite - and hauled in a 2.5 lb wrasse.
About 15 minutes later I got the dogfish.
There were fairlly constant nibbles on the bait after that but no hook-ups - fish were taking the bait off the hooks - I should have brought some mackerel to tip the hooks but it was a spur of the monent decision to head out and I just took the rag.
There were no bites at all on the plugs/lures.
Still I was happy enough with the result for a 1.5 hour session - and the biggest wrasse I have caught in East Cork so far.
