greystones right of the harbor on the rocks 4/1/09

Mon Jan 05, 2009 1:19 pm

People. Collie and Tom

Duration. 4 hrs

Tide. high, dropping

Weather. dry, freezing

Rigs. single hook rig and float rig for me, treble hook rig for tom.

Results: 3 small Pollack and a dab for me and 3 whiting and a tree-bearded rockling for tom




Report:arrived (16:45) with high water laping against the rocks and about an hours sunlight left, set up two rods each, 3 were given a fair whack out and one i fished close to the rocks on a float in the hope of picking off a pollack. I find greystones never fishes well until dark and sure enough as soon as the sun set the bites came thick and fast, mainly the short sharp thumps from pin whiting :( tom landing the first of these. my float rig landed me a pollack , smallest one ive caught in ages but still a welcome pull on the string. another 40mins of action would see tom land a couple more whiting and a rockling and me more pollack and a respectable dab. nothing amazing but a good few hours out of the house. :D
