Report:
the day didnt start two well. Orgaised to collect 40 lug off tilly at 10am. Got there to see the shop was closed. So rang himself and he had no lug in. i wanted to go with what we had as i only wanted to out early. but we decided to wait till Rory's opened and hope he had lug. went back to my dad's were we made flasks of tea and sambo's. got the bait and headed out. got to the beach and had a look and there was a comp on. walking back to the car relised i'd forgot the milk back into the town for the milk. so we got down to the beach set up, went to get a rig out of my bag well i left my main rig wallet at home so only a few in my other wallet. got baits sent out and waited in hope and waited and waited. watching the lads in the comp nothing being caught. so i decided to check my bait after 20mins to see if i missed something. NO. Baits untouched so with that sent out more and waited for the action to begin. this went on all day till about 5pm when i reeled in a small whiting. that was it so we called it a day just after 6pm. nice to get out after the long few weeks i havent being able to get out. Was hoping to get out this weekend but have to go to mayo to see my nanny before xmas so thats that out. Must get out before the end of the year can finish this year with a result of one whiting. you never know i may bring my rods to mayo and run out for a few hours on saturday night while i'm down there. I will be in ballyhaunis if anyone knows somewhere that would produce a few fish and what bait would i need to bring with me. Frozen bait as thats all i can get my hands on. Can stay fishing to long if i do even to get out for a few hours. Never fished Mayo before so would be nice to know a few spots as i'm down that neck of the woods every couple of months. the fish are safe till the next time i'm out at least.
