People:me and Fishface
Duration:6-30pm-9-30pm
Tide:1 hour falling then rising
Weather:cold, breezy,but its December after all
Bait:lugeens, refrozen mack, squid
Rigs:flappers
Results:codling, whiting, 5 bearded rockling
Report:Had to give Fishface a chance to wipe my eye and he did it in style
. We were two lonely figures on that frozen windswept pier as we set up and it wasnt long before he had a double of rockling on the end of his line. I congratulated him through gritted teeth 
and started saying hail marys,,,,,,i wasnt even getting a nibble . He kept pulling in fish after fish,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"whats this Dave, is it another codling ",,,,,,,,,,,"how many have you caught yet 
" 
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Eh,,,none ", was my reply. Even when i sat into the boot of his car for a bit of a rest from the breeze he kept it up about me blanking and i had to pretend to see a bite and get away from it .I eventually caught a whiting 
,,,but was doubly disappointed when he pulled in a treble of 2 x codling and a whiting at the same time 
.And then to cap it all my whiting was 29cms,,,,,,,,,,,not the 30 cm i told him it was .I caught a codling about 25cms after that, and when Fishface had finished toying with me, he packed up and left,,,,,,,,saying he was meeting Brendan Gleeson on Wicklow pier to give him a few fishing tips.When he left he had 8 fish to my 2 
, but i did catch another codling before my bait ran out .Just to finish off with a health and safety message,,,,,,,,,,,Fishface has a new wooly hat, it has to be seen to be believed ,,,,,,and you cant miss it ,if you thought the Petzl Ultra was bright think again,,,,,,,,,,,luminous yellow wooly hat , goes well with the orange suit, coming to a beach near you soon
