Barking Bray

People:Me and the dog(Chance)

Duration:6:00-8:00

Tide:Low

Weather:Cold but dry

Bait:Lug,mac,sandeel,squid(all frozen)

Rigs:Flapper,pulley

Result:1 coalfish,2 whiting(I think anyway )



Couldn't sleep so I decided to go fishing.Took the dog with me because his normally howls when I leave the house and I didn't want to wake up the hole neighbourhood.She was deep in sleep and I just scroll out .I arrived in Bray and was cold but no wind and no sign of rain.
I set up one rod close in with a flapper and one out(my far out distance is 50-60 yards I ll say ) with pulley hopping for a dogfish.
The all thing was to noisy with Chance barking in every cast or reeling in(dog with issues )Is only his second time out fishing and still cant realise that not every time I throw something is for him to get .Anyway back to fishing..second cast gave me a whiting of 25cm..not bad I thought .After an hour or so the far out rod didn't do any...(maybe because the distance I was wondering )and I pack it away.
In this stage I brought Chance back in the warmth of the van blame him that his barking scare all the fishes away.
After that I took my scratch rod out and in the first cast I got a coalfish of 22cm..happy days .
The wind start picking up then and as people start walking the pier as well I decided to start packing up.
Think was the fear as well of somebody coming giving out about the lousy dog
I was reeling in the close in rod as the last packing and I found another whiting in the end.Didn't even see it coming I ll say was around 20cm.
As I was reversing the pier the snow start coming down.Thought to myself..No better time than this man
A good few hours fishing with new species and a bit more practice for my cast..A..and a headache of Chance's shouting
Hope didn't weak up anyone
(If I didn't got the species right please correct me.Thanks)

Till next time ...Tight Lines

sounds like you did ok for low water judging by the time you fished i,d say you where in 3 foot of water with each cast ,tide is miles out next few days! you did better than the three of us that went adventure fishing off the head

the coalies are small but thats a fine doggie

Well done Dimitrios 3 fish in 2 hours on frozen bait at low water ,,,you did fine . That reminds me ,,,,,,,,theres a big pothole on the right hand side as you go onto the pier,before the bend, watch out everyone:!: You'd think people could find other places to walk

nice to get out,thats one big dog would not like to meet him on a dark pier!!

Thats a lovely dog, hard to tell from the photo is it an american pit bull or a boxer?

at least you beat the dreadded blank man . if the worst thing chance gets up to when he's out with you is a bit of barking count yourself lucky. when we bring our dog out she tries every trick in the book to eat our bait when we're not watching

He is a big softy doggie3131 afraid his bloody shadow

When I got him suppose to be an american bulldog but as he grows looks more like an american b cross with a boxer or something something .Still the best mate to be...

at least you beat the dreadded blank man . if the worst thing chance gets up to when he's out with you is a bit of barking count yourself lucky. when we bring our dog out she tries every trick in the book to eat our bait when we're not watching

Was afraid of the blank myself when I sow the water so low but sure ,decided to fish anyway His barking is like a bell banging in your head man,loud an proud But I have to say a,at the rest his is a good boy

Fair play for getting out for a few hours in that weather and catching sumthing.. that's a fine dog say it would give Donal domeneys puppy a run for its money (Donal only joking don't ban me )

your going off topic tony, do you want to get this thread locked
