Session 2 day 1

Mon Jan 02, 2012 1:07 am

People: Myself

Duration: 17:00-21:00 too long

Tide:low water 17:00

Weather: a night for counting stars and planets

Bait: lug and crab

Rigs: pully rig and 2 hook clipdown

Results: flounder, whiting, coalfish and after a move cod

Report:
Headed east for the second session to get a bit of sand between the toes. 8) 8) 8)
The first two casts showed plenty of small rattling bites a sure sign of pin coalies. :evil: :evil: With a change of bait sizes in they came.
Now pin coalfish were not on the agenda so after saving the blank a few times over it was back to real baits. :x :x
The first decent fish in was a flounder. :) :) After that a better coalfish and a skinny whiting were landed.
All the fish were caught at close range + - 80yds.
The bait on the rod at distance came back in untouched. Hence the golden rule “been able to cast a good distance is fine but it is far finer when you know when to cast short”
As much as I enjoyed looking at the night sky the fishing was p#ss poor so I headed for Youghal for some fishing and a bit of music. Sadly the band failed to show. I did have 3 cod before the headlamp started to fade.

In all not a bad start to the new year
