north wicklow, 14/10/10

People: myself + sweetwrasse

Duration: 5.30 - 9.30

Tide: low at 11pm ish, not high as i read it!

Weather: cold first 2 hours, then mild

Bait: refrozen, lug rag mac sandeel

Rigs: 2,3 hook flappers, pulley

Results: sweetwrasse, 5 flounder, myself 1 schoolie, 2 dogs, 4 flounder

Report: had told sweetwrasse on many an occasion that 10 fish was about an average on an east coast bash - and to this point after about 3/4 recent sessions - the blanks were making a fool of me

decided we werent going to invest in fresh bait for crab feeding - just accept we wanted a few hours in the fresh air - catch a micro whiting and be done with it

2nd cast my manky lug took a schoolie - had him on light spinning rod - was some craic all 30cm of him

then all quiet

then as dusk approached - i got a counting flounder in the 20s - then SW got one - then another - then i got a double - then i got a single

then SW got another - it seemed like we were into action for the night!!!

SW took another 2 over the next 2 hours - i was missing bites on my other rod - but started paying it more attention and brought in 2 single dogs - probably missed way more

a lad down to our right - had a fair few dogs as i was looking that way

all in all a satisfactory session with v little effort!

Nice session that's one way of pacifying 'em

Nice going Brian, another Bass even though a schoolie is still a result in my book.
On Light gear would be some crack alright.
Well done...must get out soon myself.

Mick

i have to say that ive caught plenty on the manky lug before but sweetwrasse pulled in all his flounder on chunks of fronzen rag

thanks lads

Glad you got robin into a few fish finally, maybe he'll give poolbeg a miss now for a while

Out of couriosity did you fish the bottom end or middle part of the beach?

nice result lads for the east coast

Yes I may steer clear for a while, It's always good to broaden the horizons!
It also made some room for food in my freezer

Now to get that elusive first bass, a schoolie would do me nicely!

Well done lads, and yes, a schoolie would do me tonight , but i wouldnt say no to anything bigger either

good fishing lads well done on the mixed bag

a nice session especially the bass well done

no blanking that time brian .
