Millisle- 21st November 2009... 59th irish species

Sat Nov 21, 2009 8:51 pm

People- Me

Duration- 2 hrs

Tides- drop

Weather- Winds from the South East around 25 miles per hour but clear

Baits- Mackerel and Rotten Lugworm

Rigs- 3 hook flapper with size 4s

Results- 13 Whiting, 5 Codling to 1lb, 2 Dogfish, 1 Pouting and 1 Haddock (a new species)

Report- i headed down about 3.30 or 4.00pm, i got down, managed a Codling around 8oz and a whiting around 10cm first go, second cast resulted in a trebble shot of whiting, the following threw up a small dog about 1lb. after this managed another 4 codling, a load more whiting, 1 pouting and my first ever haddock from the shore. the final cast chucked up a doggie of about 2.5lbs...

all in all a fantastic session considering the lug weren't the best. mack got all the larger fish and the majority of the whiting, lug got all the smaller codling some whiting the poutind and the haddock.

Welldone dan on a fine haul of species, no 60 cant be far away.

Santa must surely be bringing you a nice digital camera so you can show the rest of us some pics of your excellent catches.

Just out of interest, how many of your species count are Irish saltwater shore caught fish ?
