Report:as i drove into the harbour fishface was going home when i got down to meet dave i could understand why the wind had picked up and was blowing dave around the harbour like a ping pong ball bouncing him around the wall managed to set up without anthing blowing into the sea ,rods where bouncing making it hard to see bites within an hour all was flat calm and we got down to some nice fishing ,rod tips busy and some nice pollock taking our baits ,dave packed up just after timmy(the birthday boy with his new rod) arrived as his stomach was making more noise than the mini hurricane from earlier on i was getting a few pouting so decided to rig up a conger bait ,a whole pouting not a touch for half an hour when i noticed a twitch and reeled in ,my 4/0 pennel was bare the whole fish was eaten by the crabs,ect ,packed away that rod and as timmy wasnt getting many fish i advised him to fish shorter and maybe move over to where dave had been as it is a mini hotspot things went quiet then and i noticed timmys rod was getting a nibble,he lifted into the rod and it bent double snagged? nope it was nodding nicely as he hauled it up and got to the surface he felt a ping as something gave ,and he wound up a nice codling that threw up a 15 cm rockling at his feet ,bottom snood had parted /being bitten through ,still he was a happy man a nice supper for his birthday present

Well Done lads! Sounds like a good session! Nice Cod!

god that new harbour is attracting a lot of shady characters well done boys. id say the crack is better than the fishing.

Looks like 5 and a half hours was too short,,,I should have stayed longer . Happy birthday Timmy,nice fish!. Was a good session with plenty of fish being caught, I had coalies, pollock, whiting and pouting,,,,,,,,,,not as many as Roger ,,,who was pulling in doubles and trebles all night,,but I did have a few doubles and some nice fat pollock,,,,,,,,up to 32cms Hard luck to Greystones native Neil Brown,aka Fishface, who, fishing on his home patch unfortunately drew a blank,,,,despite being in the hotspot . While most of the fish were caught in darkness, there were also a few coalies and a nice pollock caught in daylight, which cant be bad for February. A good session ,,,well worth staying through the Hurricane for. Below are a few of the fish we caught with Rogers first

its that rotten mack you gave me and as i only went to keep you company for an hour and only had 2 casts with a one hook trace again i say a one,not two or three or six but a one hook trace i dont feel too bad about blanking

That mack caught the pollock and the big cod later on,,,,,,he local lad found a bit that you dropped in your hurry to skidaddle when the wind picked up
