Results:poxy dogfish launce and horse makerel
Report:
got down there early why i dont know as ive been down there loads chasing bass and i dont think theres any there,never ever seen any there either just taking advice from other (anglers)??? nothing but lsd everywhere and the only thing i caught on lures were large launce which i even put on a float and fished it round decent rocks but not a sausage, when i was climbing up the cliffs to go home i noticed loads of makerel on the top of the water, (and no the bass werent chasing them either!)they were chasing sand eel cause i even tried plugs and lures between them so i put the feathers on and got a load hit after hit and they were huge fat horse makerel,i dont know if its worth fishing that place at night? should have took my diving gear down there and i couldve looked for myself, the blokes that are catching here are getting them from kish i think or doing a 50hour week on the water as ive never seen one bass down there or being caught, there was a bloke beside me at roney point this morning and he got the maggot even before i did, think the best idea is to go to dungarven or chuck the fishing gear in the liffey

Don't give up on it mate, Roney fishes way better on spring tides when the flood tide belts in from right to left between the land and the island!!
Try wading out onto one of the smaller rocks and letting a spinner or plug flow down about 50 yards and then retrieve against the current
if you can get the last of the rise at first light or sunset all the better!!
