Too lazy to try barnageera so tried the pier instead,fished two rods one out a bit one light bass rod in close,the big rod was baited with half mack fillets on a pully targeting dogs,no joy on that ,the light rod baited with rag and mack didnt stop for first 2 hours all whiting about 8" the biggest,also one flounder about 20cm,then it went


quiet,suddenly a massive bite,a big mackeral took plain mack on the bottem,then noticed macks in twos or threes swimming under the surface in the light,surprisingly hard to tempt when they have time to think about it,got four in the end,also small ollack in the light to ,got 3,i gave up on doggies so set the rod up for conger but no joy either ,not a bad night at least something was biting

The crabs usually destroy baits off skerries pier,,well done for putting one over on the crusty crustaceans,,
