Sligo SWFF 11.2.12

People: me, my bro and my dad

Duration: 3 1/2 hrs

Tide: arrived 2 hrs before low

Weather: scorchio

Bait: Fly ( Hugh falkus sunk lure), spinners, sandeel

Rigs:

Results: 1 Seatrout just over 3 lb

My dad and bro were down for the weekend, and what an awesome day they got!, like summer in february absolutely beautiful. got them set up with spinning gear, and chucked the bait rod out, before setting up the fly rod - spotted a nice little rocky weedy point sticking out into the sea that looked like a perfect spot for a seatout to be sitting in ambush.

Fourth or fifth cast and Wallop! cracking seatout and a hell of a fight. weighted in at just over 3lb,

the lads hammered away with spinners but no joy and the bait rod was untouched.

Just before we left I missed another crackin trout, who turned away just as i was lifting the fly from the water, similar sized fish to the one i caught.

Great start to the season, and a great mark I will definitly be visiting again -)
