Wed Oct 28, 2009 10:05 pm
People:Meself and the one 'nd only trouthunter
Duration:13:00 'til 17:00
Tide:Rising upon arrival
Weather:Cloudy with a wind blowing from the south
Bait:Live crab and rag
Rigs:various
Results:2 schooley bass,1 dab, 1 coley
Report:Because of me poor auld father putting his back out of place due to his hard work typical of him, just tryin to feed me
To cheer the man up I decided that we should go fishing, the ultimate relaxation pill. As we drove round the coast near Tara Hill and castletown we took the road down to clones but took a left just before the strand and stopped along the rural road just a few hundred yards away from other fisherman on the other side of the rock. And so it was. We baited up and casted out with difficulty as the rockspace was about 2 metres width. After half an hour waiting time we reeled in and my father had a small dab with a schooley bass on mine, both biting coinsidently only 2 mins before we reeled in. Then I caught a nice schooley bass, although of a small length he had a fat belly on him. About 15 mins later I once again reeled in a coley of small size. We both waited most patiently like the fishermen we are for an hour 'til our patience worn out and so we reeled in and headed to Ballymoney South beach just before dark set on the southeast coast. We held not a bit of luck there but headed home with me father after a fair days fishing
