sligo flounderfest, 23.9.09

People:me

Duration: 5ish to nineish

Tide: LW 2.40

Weather: windy overcast, dry

Bait: Lug, squid mack

Rigs: 3 hook flapper, 2 up

Results: 9 flounder 1 doggie




Report:

Actually got it together to dig some lug and got about 40 monster lug and 1 white ragworm

the mark looked the dog b*****x , spot on surf and conditions, put a 3 hook flapper with lug out, and then two bigger baits on the other rod (well you can live in hope ) - big lug and squid cocktails.

was pretty much a flounder a cast from the outset - with one double gettin as many on the big baits - easier to unhook too -- tried mack on the cocktails and had a doggie straight away - so gave up on that idea.

an hour before HW everything stopped and nada for about an hr hour and a half, then 2 more flounder - right at the end

towards the end also had the joy of cracking off twice in row with the bigger baits only had a few gripp leads so was well peeved

all fish mostly good size 30cm+ ish, with 2 smaller bout 25.

a few were very deep hooked - was hard to detect bites with the wind, so kept them for the pan - quick zap in the fryinpan with olive oil - feckin tasty

what a buzz - another cracking session - feel like i'm writing someone elses reports this last while

have a pic, will post tomorrow.

Well done Davy, sounds like you had a cracking session, well done on the flounder, had fresh flounder on Sunday for dinner mighty fine feast

Regards

its been great to have the time - best part of the recession problem is i reckon i must have spent a months worth of dole on diesel in the last week , will see if i can make thurday - have really been overdoing it so might not be allowed

well done davy nice catch there...i went to our Bass mark but no luck blanket of weeds at the moment,instead caught loads of flatties

Them big tides last week really have weed everywhere - out today one of the beaches had mountains of weed on it seriously chunky big braches of kelp - nice one on the flatties, them sligo Bass better watch out, will be interesting to see if a few more turn up

good man davy your on a roll

I had pretty much given up on sligo after a bizzillion blanks last year - but its deffo made up for it this autumn

ah Hugo - was scouting out your part of the world today - very nice - , I'll definitly be back, surfers were aboutthat day but sound - talked to a few of the guys on the way over, and they stayed clear which was cool - one guy on a wee kayak type thing cut accross my line once - dont think he even knew i was there- managed to communicate with hand signals that i was unimpressed , and he didnt come back

great session Davy did you where did you get the white rag ?
got a few myself last time out diggin

my super secret, uber lucrative white rag mark - got another today near killala - along with 1 mini lug
