BALLINTOY 14th MAY

Sun May 15, 2011 9:17 pm

People: me my bro and uncle

Duration: from 12 noon till 4:00 am

Tide: both

Weather: showers and sunny

Bait: mackerel, sandeels, ragworm

Rigs: pulley, two hook cliped down

Results: 6 flounder, 4 dogfish, 10 coalies and 3 pollock




Report: Me and the bro thought we wernt gonna get to this mark cause of the weather cause there was a north western wind blowing in and the swell was high, but when we arrived and looked it was fine. so we got the rods out and wacked out the bait as far as we could, it was very slow at first with the ebb tide but when the tide turned we started getting bites, to be honest i thought the weather would of been to rough for the flatties coming in, but was i wrong the flounder started bitting most were small altho we got a few decent 1s aswell. then the bro started spinning from the rocks and my uncle was on the float. mybro hooked into to a few pollock also my uncle had 1 on the float, then the sun droped down and the lantern and headlamps were turned on. i started to thread the glow grubs on r rigs which gives the rig a luminous glow just by the bait, wacked out the leads, and the doggies and coallies never quit. a big heavy shower started round 4 in the morning so we finally reeled in and packed up the gear and headed home, ( i could of stayed another while but the 2 jinnys beside me were getting wet so had to go) lol

all and all a great session and hope to get out again asap.
