People: Myself & Nial K

Duration: 7pm'til 10.30

Tide: Filling to full high

Weather: Cold, dry and calm

Bait: Sandeel & mackerel

Rigs: Boom Pennell & Clip down flapper

Results: 2 Coalies, 1 dab & a shore rockling




Report:
Headed down to Waterfoot last night, the tides looked spot on and a nice evening was forecast. What can I say, what a disappointment. The water was flat calm and the crabs were having a field day with our bait. Not a doggie in sight.

Apart from the shore Rockling all fish were very undersized. The rod tips hardly stirred all night. Ah well, I suppose you can't win 'em all the time

Hoping for some better results next week on our daylight sessions.

as you said you cant win them all but a least you beat the blank

had the same myself down in around north Wexford last weekend

was on pier on tuesday nite same no dogs just one very small codling

hard luck monty, i usually find that when the crabs feel safe enough to come out in numbers it usually means the fishing will be pants . but stick at it man, the weather is set to improve soon and the sea temp should warm up a bit encouraging the fish to play ball a bit more freely
