Report: not much to report about 14 fish in all - all tiddlers - bad return for 5 hours there - no minis or flats not even a dog

only point of note the 2 biggest coalies i had took floated white - in the daylight on the drop - some bait and a bit of craic on light rod

unfortunate to say but 2 foreign friends to my left were putting every tiddler in a large yellow bucket and not even knocking them on the head

they did have a doggie and a scorpian which they put back

tonyfella and co turned up later and had a strap but we had enough!

Shockin! Something has to be done about these guys. Ruining it for everybody.

still nice too get some fish.
even the little lads will be gone if this keeps up....

Hope you gave them the "Eyes" stare Brian .I was there last Friday during daylight,3pm-7pm approx and it was extremely quiet,,,,1x pouting to save my blushes and as you say, it was cold out of the sun behind the wall. There were some Indian guys and a gal at the end of the pier fishing and they were putting them back ,and some Irish guys with straw cowboy hats to keep the sun off their heads. I hadnt the neck to say to them that you dont often see cowboys and Indians fishing off Wicklow Pier I suppose I may as well throw in the old "Still ,,,,it was good to be out "at the end

I know how ya feel, I got myself a 2 week ban on the forum for a rant about our friendly foreign fellow fisherman( yes I did use a lot of "F" adjectives on that post aswell , so thought i use some different ones this time to avoid another ban). at least you had a little action.

did you ever fish off the back of the wall eyes ? at low water it can hold some nice flats and lots of crabs

We where the last to leave the pier brian and the mess they left bottles all over the place wrappers etc they must live in a pigsty dirty F.............

I don't fish the pier in Summer as it annoys the crap outta me having to look at these mugs putting small fish in buckets,....more than once I had to be stopped from trying to kick the yellow bucket between the sugarloaves for a point ,so figure its not worth it anymore......and only fish it in Winter.
