Greystones 8-10-11

People:me

Duration:8am-12-30pm

Tide:rising but very slack

Weather:NE breezes

Bait:rag and squid

Rigs:2 hok mini rigs and 2 hook flapper

Results:doggie, whiting, pollock, coalies, blennies, scorpion fish, Ballan Wrasse, Corkwing wrasse.
Got up early to watch the rugby ,,,,,,,,Ireland beaten .When the game ended I headed to Greystones and set up in hope of wrasse. I fished 2 rods, 1 out, 1 in , and I got a doggie and a whiting on the first cast at distance. Sea was like a mill pond with the wind smoothing it over and the whiting , at about 10cms, was the biggest of four I had at distance . I wasnt disappointed by the wrasse, there were plenty around , and though tricky to catch(I lost 4 rigs), I got great enjoyment for my few hours there. I got a nice orange coloured Ballan, covered in sea lice, which made a nice change from the many corkwings. There were also some pollock and coalies which were hammering the rag as soon as it hit the water.One other guy fishing there, caught a few pollock and whiting. I was going to go at about 10-30am but the fish were still biting so I opened another pack of rag, ,,and stayed till I ran out of bait at 12-30pm. A nice spot to spend a few hours

























Report:

well done dave on what sounds like a busy session all way a good complaned when you run out of bait

Nice one Eyes, the photos are GREAT!!! Most of the fish i've been pullin are covered with sea lice these days , wonder why , cant be doin the fish any good, watch this now, from Catch and release point of view we'll be required to throw in a delicing agent before fish go back

Nice mornings fishing well done.
