Report:
Decided to take a young fella that had never been fishing before out for a couple of hours. Wanted to pick a mark that would guarantee some fish to get him interested so decided to head to Dun Laoghaire armed with a box of rag and some rotten bottom rigs.

I have to say I could not believe how many fish that we caught in such a short period of time, granted the biggest was Pollock of around 2lb but it was literally a fish a cast. Initially it was loads of pin whiting, then fat pouting. Then just as the light began to drop the Pollock came on the feed. We had 4 Pollock in succession 1.5 – 2lb. We even managed a few nice wrasse with the biggest just over the pound.

Absolutely comical watching the young lad attempting to put the rag on the hook without getting bitten. Great craic!!!!

fair play for getting the young lad interested and with a few fish he is probley hooked now
nice session well done

hard to beat a good session on dunlaoighre, well done to you and the young lad,,, the car-parking scenario put me off,, miserable gits

Cheers lads. Great sport for a couple of hours. The car parking is a major pain in the back side (as is the walk along the pier) but if you go for a night session it's free

The wee man is definitely hooked now, he went out again the following night with the left over rag, same results...!
