People: Myself and 2 mates

Duration:3.5 hours

Tide:Rising

Weather :dd Good, light winds.

Bait:Rag, Lug, Fresh Herring and Mussel

Rigs: 2 hook/3 hook flappers

Results :A million and 7 Whiting, 4 Flounder, and a very confused looking baby smoothound!!




Report
Fished SB Arklow from 8pm - 11.30pm. From the off we were plagued with Whiting taking all kinds of baits.Distance didnt matter, 5 yards to 50 yards, we were picking up doubles or trebles most casts.
Biggest of them was 29cm, had a decent number in or around that size.
My mate reeled in a baby smoothound...bit of a surprise catch given that its November!!

All in all..a grand session.
