Report: it was the first leg of our master angler, 6 people turned up, we fished south of the monkey pole, it was non stop action, as soon as you cast the rods were hopping, i had 59 dogfish and 1 counter whiting, next was robbie coventry with 56 dogfish and 2 dabs, the fish were sitting between 50 and 70 yards out, we caught a couple of spider crab, it made me think of paul robinson he was looking for a location were he could get some, PAUL THEIR IN YOU BACK GARDEN,

just before we were leaving we saw a trawler setting something about 50 yards off shore dont know wether it was pots or a net

well done mick a barking mad session alright

you can say that again, im just glad i brought the T bar otherwise my hands would have been ripped to bits,

i will look forward to a report the weekend from the east coast raiders, id say their fishing will be hectic

excellent session lads i popped down for a split second to see how the weed was, seen you guys bring in some dogs but no idea it could be like that

I wasn't expecting it either i was blessed dave tilly gave me some extra sandeel (about 50 in a box) when i was collecting bait off him, his sandeel really was the main bait that worked, Thanks dave top notch bait as always

I have heard of nets being set very close to shore around wicklow harbour & north beach, already
contacted the fisheries board and they said they would check it out.
I was old to contact Martin Kelly if i saw anything odd.

it was a red trawler about 40ft long and what ever it set it was directly out from the monkey pole, it appeared to be from wicklow harbour

They were most likely putting down lobster pots theirs loads of them laid down along their i no that because i have to be very careful going along their in the boat lobster pots and crab pots all over the place.

that's some haul of dogs. i'll bet the session flew in

Grew up fishing that beach and to be fair it can be terrible at times...but when the dogs are on they are on...that some cracking fishing Mick, especially in daylight., well done lads!!

brilliant session mate

i supose with so many pots in the water the scent trail must bring in the dogs from miles away roll on sat for our comp ,i,m bringing a kennel instead of a beach buddy and a t bar
