shankill, dublin, 20/01/09

People: myself, shamoo

Duration: 6.15 - 10pm

Tide: high 7.30

Weather: very cold to start breezy then got milder

Bait: mack, lug, sandeel, squid

Rigs: 2 hook flapper, pulley

Results: 5 whiting, 4 rockling

Report: wanted to try another spot i hadnt fished before - seeing a codling of decent size down in killiney thought there might be a rogue hanging round shankill - no joy tho

wouldnt like to try fishing this mark on a spring - tide fairly surged every so often

the whiting were a good size - one almost 40cm - at least not a plague of pins

some of the rockling were ridiculously small - 12cm or so

mark got rockling and whiting also

good to catch something i suppose at a new spot

all fish in close - pulley were stripped by crabs or ended up buried in the heavy sand/mud - lost a rig in it

fished to the right of the walkway down - is the left better ground?

thanks

funny that i couldnt see shamoos new headlight i was only 8 miles futher down the coast what part did yus fish

corbawn lane i think it was off

there was 2 of those headlamps down there - as mark said "people will start to talk"

the whiting were a good size - one almost 40cm - at least not a plague of pins

Nice size alright! The biggest one I ever caught was just over 30 cm.
