Report:
Typical autumn Donaghadee fishing I guess, the Gale was chopping up the water nicely outside and this is where I picked up a few coalies, while on the inside the settled water allowed the Whiting to come onto the feed.
Fished a bass rod into the rough stuff, which proved to be the best idea, while the flattie rod was fished into the calmer stuff, I love spotting biting on the light rod, makes it a joy to fish with, most of the fish weren't big, the whiting were in and around 20-25cm while I could of the coalies would have been around 1.5lb, but fun all the same.

no 5 bearded rockling this time?

do you reckon you still might hit 50 species by year end? you've come so close even if you dont its still an impressive species count

not a bad session for 2.5 hours well done

Been thinking of that, with 2 months to go, I think I'm going to top our at around 45 Species max this year, but just means I get to try harder next year! lol

nice one drew. we were down there over HW at the weekend and it was pretty dead . if we can, i always prefere to fish there over LW as it always seems to fish better. but that was a great result for a couple of hours man

Drew,

The tip on that new rod of yours must have been dancing with all those wee whiting about! LOL

They just pull it right round man, there's no ifs, ands or indeed buts about it, its either a fish, or not a fish when that wee rods involved...
