Report: Arrived at dalriada rocks for a club comp got set up for a 5 o clock start. Fishing dead for the first 2 hours, with baits coming back untouched bites. The action only started when it started to get dark with a coalie 22 cm a double of coadling to 18 cm and a coalie 39 cm. Bites died off after 9 o clock. All fish came to lug and mack on 2 hook flapper with loads of bling. Sonic rod survived another outing and gived the small size of the fish gave pretty good bite detection.
Overall the competition results varied with another 5 anglers on dalriada rocks having a similar number of mainly small fish however other rock marks proved more productive and it was won with 17 fish 25-44 cm.

nice one smicker, we fished the beach at waterfoot. i got 18 fish but only one counter what sort of distance did you get him at?

well done lad, i fished the beach at waterfoot with al but did'nt land as many and no counters, well done with the codling

Fairly close, i was using a multiplier and not confident to try and wack it in the dark, i would gestimate approx 30 40 yds

Nice work smicker, definitely more nice "counters" to be had round at the rocks it seems, even though I only joined the lads at the beach for a leisure trip

as usuall, the best fish came from the rough, rougher the better. Dalriada rocks tends to be clean after the first 20 yds. I think only 3 counters came from dalriada out of 6 anglers

well done smicker. we were to the left of ya but moved to the beach. sorry we didnt get chatting to ya.
myself and fra 1 counter each with 20 odd non counters. it was a good day out

It was a good day out, pity the fish didn't come on until the light went but i was glad to get out. Last time i got out was October. Hope to get in some more.

Nice Coalie there. I was hoping to land one (First) on Saturday but no luck.

'twas a tough night alright lads...

I had 12 in all but only 2 counters. I managed all my fish at distance 100yds+ and all fell to sandeel.

Roll on Ballyhornan....
