north clare session.
Sun Mar 20, 2011 10:16 pm
People:me
Duration:12.30-3.30
Tide:rising
Weather:nice
Bait:lug , mack , sand eel
Rigs:3+2 hook rigs
Results: flounder x2.
I was down in north Clare for the weekend { trying to learn to surf/body boarding}. It was ffffffreezing cold and i only lasted a hour.
. When my fingers went blue i decided i had enough. 
. so we headed for the pub to watch the match.{well done Ireland}. and a session started. This morning since i had the gear with me and i had the bait too 
i went to a small beach that was empty.the tide was just turned and coming fast and there was a lot of weed in the small bit of surf .With the flattie rod out i sent the big rod out far.With in 10 min the near rod twitched and a small flattie saved the blank. 
the other rod was not getting any attention and i rebaited again and sent it out to the surf line. About a hour later another flattie came in on the near rod and while i was unhooking it the rod at distance gave a massive nod and a rattle. 
. and what ever it was shredded the bait {sandeel} and it will be the one that got away. 
. it went very quite for the last while so it was time to go. but ill be back for another go on this beach.
