Report:Continuing our summer Dublin tour we tried a different spot today off some local rocks. It looked dodgy getting down but we found a safe pathway and worked out the escape route just in case! We were hoping for Pollock and anything else would be a bonus. I had three dogs in consecutive casts to sand eel. As the tide got higher we tried a little closer in and despite the odd snag I managed a lovely coloured red codling and a wrasse to rag. Hunger and the prospect of take aways got the better of us and we pack it in and headed for home.

that not a red cod its kinda kelpy brown but not red! nice hat conor i cant beleive you brought an old lad like gordy to a mark like that in the rain ,do you know how fragile an old persons skeletal system gets
fair play going out in that weather to try a new dublin mark crappy tides and all

Photo doesn't do it justice but it was a kelpy red if anything Gordy was well able for the three fences, mad dog and rope ladder we had to deal with. All those years in the TA paying off! And the hat is all I have since my coat got knicked

yer tough lads,well done.glad ye were rewarded with something.i pulled out of my session today with the rain.wind wise was grand.and no fishing tomorow as united play the pool and the all-ireland after.a day 4 the pub

TA , tergiversation assosiation

Fair play Conor,,,,,dont mind Roger about that hat,its a nice hat although suspiciously like my new lucky one ,,,,,,,,Glad to see you did a risk assessment before attempting to fish that mark,,,sensible boys Thats the thing about some photos, they dont do the fish justice,you'll have to get some tea towels for background effect , and remember to keep those little xmas cracker items that will make fish look bigger like mini scissors etc. . Looks like a good wrasse mark, though I wonder if theyre getting a bit thin on the ground of late,,,,,,,anyways well done on pulling out a few fish

had to help conor over the rope bridge though

TA= Transgender Anyonymus. well done girls good to get out discovering new marks.
