***10 species*** 09.08.09 Donegal rock mark

People:me and mick

Duration:6.00pm to midnight

Tide:high at 9pm

Weather:warm and mild, flat sea

Rigs:everything we had, and then some

Results:me; 1 Tub gurnard, 5 Dogfish, 2 Coalfish, 1 Pollack, 1 Dab, 1 Wrasse, 1 Pouting, 1 congor eel.
Mick; 1 Thornback Ray, 1 Tub Gurnard, 1 Coalfish, 2 Plaice, 1 Flounder, 3 Dab, 4 Dogfish




Report:This was a trip to seek out a few new species this year but we never expected such a number gurnard and plaice were on the wishlist, Mick was the first to hit the jack pot with the first plaice and then I managed a lovely Tub Gurnard, I'd caught red gurnards before but these tubs really are pretty with the blue edges to their (pectoral?) fins
At this point we thought great mission accomplished and could have gone home quite happy but we then managed to add Dab to our species list, I now have 20 this year so far
as the tide hit high things went quiet for about 30 min giving mick a chance to enjoy his flask of coffe but then all rods went mad again and we were constantly pulling in fish and baiting up, so much for a relaxing evenings fishing, it was great at times we couln't even get one rod baited again before the other was hopping off the stand. Those flat fish really do give a good bite from deep water compared to on the beach
To finish the evening with a conger from the deep dark depths and give a combined species count for the evening of 10 really was satisfying

Well done lads, great fishing. Nice to have one of those busy sessions where you even forget to eat

I knew we should have gone to Donegal. That's a great session. Our last visit to Donegal bay, was a crackin' day. We were torn between Donegal and trying out the Barmouth, and we obviously chose the wrong one!!! Well done lads, Al

Well done dude..Would love a day like that myself..Just curious as to what mark u where fishing of, am from donegal town myself and could use an eventful day of actually catching stuff!!

Cheers
