North Dublin - 02/06/10

People:me

Duration:00.30 to 3 am ... High at 3.30 I think

Tide:rising

Weather:warm

Bait:peeler

Rigs:pulley

Results:3 hounds




Report:With the nice weather yesterday evening, decided to go for a last minute session. The fishing has been superb last week except for a big nice blank on Friday.

At least I met 4 very nice lads (Matt69, Jayball10 and I ashamed to say that I forgot the others codenames and I'm not sure they would agree that I reveal their real identity on the website ) ... Thanks for the good evening

So take a few crabs in the reserve, load the gear and the security staff in the car and off we go.

Settle down at the mark, the weather was warm, and the sea flat (for a change).

First hour has been very quiet, missed a couple of bites ... As the tides was pushing in more seriously, bites became fast and furious with a lot missed ... Decided to change the reel for one loaded with braid (and not bread ), to see if I can get a better hook up ratio...

Honestly I didn't find it better ...

As I was landing a fish, my dog started to bark and I see 2 shadows behind me ... They scare the hell out of me ... Turn and see my dog facing 2 Garda ...

Nice guys, they ask me questions about the fish and one them took a photo for me with my mobile ... When you see the photo, one thing is sure, they don't know how to take photos

After the Garda left, the fishing slow down and finally die ...

So pack the gear and headed back home ...

All in all nice evening, a good hour of fishing and 3 hounds landed...

Good to see that spots still got hounds on it

Might head there 2moro!

Might head there 2moro!

Is that a promise or a threat

Nice result, and as Al said great to see that spot still has afew fish in it.

Out of interest, what were the garda doing down on the beach?

Tomorrow might be good as easterly winds are forecast ...

They were passing on the road and see my light. So they were wondering what a guy alone with a dog at 2.00 in the morning was doing ...

It has happened to me a few times before ... and they always approach you like foxes, making no noise and scare the hell out of you when suddenly saying "Hello, what are you doing?" and blind you with the maglite ...

Well there is always a few hounds around here in summer, one day yes, one day no ... but nothing in comparison with the big crab moult earler on ...

Maybe it was the garda dog unit on hound patrol.

well done you certenly are in the grove at that mark keep it up

Love this little stretch of coast ... And I think after 3 years of fishing it at all state of the tide, by all weather, day or night and with so many different method, I'm only starting to have an idea of why and when some things happen ...
Can't wait for the end of the bass ban, as I have 2 or 3 in mind which may be worth trying ...

Fair play to you.
You deserved a hound for the effort put in.
Hope the marks your thinking of work out after the bass ban.

nice going.might see you next week if your about.

Well done and fair play for the effort put in.
Might see you out that way some time..

Nice fishing mate. We were unlucky last Friday but as you said one day yes one day no. It was nice to get out and meet some chaps from the site. Nice bunch of geezers . Thanks for all the tips and the crab. I would like to repay you but at 1.50euro a go i think ill have to get my Wellingtons on and head out low tide

See ya soon over the summer for another session hopefully.

Don't worry for the crabs, I'll make you a price ... 1.35EUR
I think we will catch up soon

Good piece of persverance by the sound of it
