People me and son

[b]Duration 9.30am to 5.45pm

[b]Tide:out then the rise

[b]Weather very windy/rain but warm

[b]Bait mac/squid/crab

[b]Rigs pullys

[b]Results countless coalies




[b]Report we started of at malin head and we had fish on every cast. but they were all very small coalies at just about 1/4lb, the rods at distance never got a knock at all. in the distance i could see the gulls going mad diveing in steady at the mackerel, but they kept their distance from the shore and as our bait was quicky running out i was hopeing for a few mac's, but no joy they kept well out of casting range. so we got fed up getting/feeding these coalies and moved on to redcastle pier for the last couple of hours of the rise, we fished it hard up to the flood but got nothing only a few small taps on the distance rods, close in rods were hammered every time with crabs.

i gave the pier at redcastle a throw a couple of times during the week but blankety blank both times. i might head somewhere for this evenings high tide which i think should be around 6

Good to see you trying a few marks. i am always looking for new marks and its great to hear reports and see pics from places that are on my list for visiting soon. Nice pics too.

Sounds like a frustrating day Don at least the coalies kept ye busy for a while.... cracking scenery up around there
