poolbeg 5/2/12

People: 6 poor soles

Duration:5.30 till 945

Tide:full around 10

Weather:mild and misty

Bait:lug mac whiting crab

Rigs:lots

Results:whiting and i nice little codling 30 cm




Report:six mad nutters walked the walk down to the end at the lighthouse with buckets of lug ,we had gone down for the excerise and to feed the whiting as they are very small and skinny ,someone decided to catch a codling just as we where confident the whiting had been well fed ,so if you fancy a very long walk and some healthy fat whiting you know where to go!bring some fresh lug as they love it
oh i forgot to mention poor kev lost his pet crab after a rigorous training program to train it to retreave whiting without using lug worm it fell victim to the heavey traffic down on the location kev was crushed!

Wasn't a wasted walk Roger, pity about the crab,, poor little crushtacean.

Ah it was fun to get a good stretch of the legs!! with good company, Pity about the crab, he was doing so well But he did learn how to STOP! perfectly!!! speaking of which those crabs are seriously well fed!! (i'll post up photos as soon as I find my phone!) Now to figure what Im going to do with a bucket a of lug!!! Might just have to go out again and feed something!

My ears are still hurting from the noise of kev's 'great' tackle box solution

it the first time this year doing the walk and it the last it a tackle graveyard and only a scorpion & a pin whiting to show for it there a reseson i only fish the start of the walk roll on arpil (bass& hounds) to be had and no back breaking walk hope you have better luck with all the left over bait roger well it cant get much worse than last night

I'm still vibrating from pulling the box,a little modification and it'll be grand.

who said fishing wont make ya deaf

Well at least I had a COD dinner but its a wasteland down there except if you want the whiting r crabs.... Some walk down and I can only guess what the noise of the sack truck that Kev had was like, glad we left when we did and didnt have to listen to the noise.... By the way Kev the COD was very nice!!!!!!!!

funny roger, hell of a walk tho, been down in many times, caught umpteen cod and bass there, back in the days when fish were actually in the sea not in a net used to be a great crab farm too
