A Wicklow Harbour 22-12-11

People:me

Duration:7pm-10-30pm

Tide:rising,, high at 9-30pm approx

Weather:really mild, breezy and damp

Bait:lug, mack, squid and crab

Rigs:2 hook flappers

Results:5x pollock, 1 x coalie, 1 x rockling and 1 x pouting




Report:Headed out last minute after the Missus got me 20 lug ,,,,,,,,must have been the payback for all the Christmas shopping trips i've been dragged out on recently . I headed to Greystones Harbour to find only one other angler there. He was lure fishing, small ragworm-like jellyworms, and getting great sport out of it. I couldnt believe how light his rod was ,I promised myself i'd go light with one rod the next time. I set up and got a couple of pollock, small enough with the biggest around 35cms,all going for mack and squid and ignoring the lug/squid mix. Some other lads arrived and set up and soon the little fishing area was full up, it doesnt accommodate many anglers . The fish were few and far between but you cant complain on such a mild December night. Met Tony(tofish) off the site and had a bit of a chat. The fishing died off when it passed high tide and I packed up. Happy Christmas to all the fisherfolks out there, and especially those i've had the pleasure of fishing with and learning from. Nollaig Shona Daoibh go leir!,

Well done Mate...but you have to tell me this secret of getting your missus to buy lug... I cant get mine to go near the tackle shop...although she has promised to get me a nice beach buddy that i've been after ... Anyways well done on the fine fish...but more over Merry Christmas to you and tightlines!!
