Howth, Balscaden

People:me

Duration:1030 - 1400

Tide: very high

Weather: dry and clear skies but cold in the shade

Bait: ammo sand eels

Rigs: pulley pennel then a 2 hook flapper

Results: Blank

Report: Did not fancy a long drive south so stayed local to confirm in my mind that there is not alot about! proved right - couple of small bites but nothing decent. Looks like I'll have to put a bit more effort into my next shore trip. On the plus side had a nice view of Ireland's eye and the tralwers heading out to sea. On the way home picked up 2 nice fillets of cod in Nickeys fish shop and some kippers for E 15.50. good days fishing!!

better luck next time. I hope you didnt tell anyone you caught the cod

u wont catch much on sand eels round howth as ye found out but it dose throw up the odd whiting and dab but all small and 2 lug.
but still nice place 2 hit if ye only hav an hr r 2, r if ye jus need some time away from family

sound like you got some nice fillets for less than 80 lug ,i often ask myself WHY??and i like kippers too

thanks just testing my computing skils now with few photo's! hope this works.?

Nice photos Choco. Its a pity that such a lovely spot is void of any fish. Now if you want empty beer cans and empty feathers packets your on a winner! I had contemplated trying it again mind you since the blanks I had there last summer. I think my "fishing" has come on a bit since then. But on the back of a blank last Sunday I might go netting in the Bray Aquarium first!
