Report: Picked up Ray sat morning loaded rods tents bait camping stoves bbqs etc etc. With the amount of gear we had you would think it was a week we were going for. Eventually got to Renvyle - took us ages due to traffic. Got set up on Renvyle beach at about 230pm it was blowing f5-f6 while we were there which made casting kinda hard. All baits were tried and tried again but nothing happening both of us blanked. Headed to Tully for food and a pint and to get some more supplies for the night session. Eventually got to Little Killary at about 915pm due to pints in Tully and wine with a friend of Rays ( must get the name of that wine ) carried and dragged all our gear to the mark where nialler was already fishing - will let him do his own report. Had a couple of casts nothing happening so we set up the tents before it got dark and back to the fishing and more drinking we fished until 4am with both of us catching about 6 dogs each. Am sure we missed a few bites due to talking and drinking. Back up at 8am and started fishing again with both of us catching 1 dog each, a few small pollock. I had cast the spinning rod out with a 2oz lead and single hook with a sandeel and pulled in a grey gurnard a new species from the shore for me The fishing wasnt that good considering the amount of time put in and with the wind really picking up and the heavy rain we decided to head home.
