Report:myself and keith decided to go get a bray head cod or codling ,we went we tried we floundered but will be back bites where few and far between and not a whiting between us very strange .was quiet enough for the fist few hours so we decided to move down to the north beach ,only to find ourselves cut off by the tide
So under duress from mother nature we fished on a while longer ,keith decided to tempt fate one time to many and got swamped by a wave ,i must admitt i didnt know if i should or as it was a bit cold my mind was made up when keith bent down to bait up and his hood emptied about a litre of water down his back
NO ANGLERS WHERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS REPORT!
OR COD
i will however BE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s mussel and squid best bait

that would be a tough 1 wheter 2 r , but id say ud be inside

good report roger thats a nice sea scorpion. i'll bet the wave loosened your bowls a bit when stuff like that happens you always break out into a fit of nervous laughter, can be bloody scarey but

nice size rockling & scorpion got swamped a couple of times never nice feeling especially running down the beach trying save your gear!

Nice size fish there, well done .,,,yes,, ive also had that swamped feeling water down the back of the neck

Worst was the wave going down my back and then having to carry a beta box on it for that long walk, Nice night when the wind died down

no more baked beans for lunch

A bit of splashed water never hurt anyone.

was it the very dangerous part of bray head ye were fishing

jaysus lads, Bray Head is really producin the fish this week!!

the mark gets cut off on the bigger tides and isnt safe to fish in really rough weather but can be good like all marks on its day ,mixed ground so heavey gear best ,might give greystones south a bash next, the big tides might make it a tad difficult think its gonna be weedy aswell after that wind over the last few days

Fished the south beach myself last night form 10pm to 1am, hw around 11pm I think, weed was a nightmare, I should have known better with the wind/swell as strong as it was. Got a baby bass and a whiting, that was all. With the large swell, there wasnt much beach to fish from
