Limerick Point Pier (Dalriada) 22/7

Thu Jul 22, 2010 8:09 pm

People:Myself

Duration:8.30am -11.30 ish

Tide:Receeding

Weather:Drizzly

Bait:Mackerel

Rigs:12ft surfcaster w 3 hook flapper/3oz griplead - 10ft Pier rod w 3 hook flapper/4oz griplead

Results:1 crab

Report:Lots of bites but 100% of them were bait stealing,nothing taking the fatal gulp. Retrieving what I thought was a catch to reveal a crab caught up between the bottom hook and griplead.

Fed it the rest of my bait and went home :cry:
