Lough swilly
Thu May 31, 2012 9:19 am
People: me and corbyeire
Duration:3/4hrs
Tide: flooding
Weather: windy to start but settled down later on
Bait:mackerel and sandeel
Results: 3 thornbacks
Report:
i met up with corbyeire at a local mark in the hope we'd get a few fish while in the area. corbyeire was already there when i arrived and was set up and all. we had a brief chat to say hello etc then it was time to get into a few fish.
the wind was bit heavy but at least it was in a good enough direction for a short while - lucky me had a thornie first cast, it was only about 2lb
but nice to see. our rods where not very active at all, we had a few bites but no connections for a while.
we did the usaul and swapped stories and info and it was nice to see an angler not too hung up on great fish but being out that was just enough.
i ended up getting another bigger ray of 4 or 5lb - and corbyeire also got small one to brighten up his evening.
there wasnt one doggie which was unusual for that mark so things where slow - all in all nice to help out a visiting angler and a good nights craic - shame about the fishing.
i'd once again forgotten the camera so apologies for that.

Just as well really, cos we both blanked the evening before!
At least you got him into a fish, I could only get him a follow from a sea trout.

i blame the winds mate. his ray was mistaken for a flounder which we both found very amusing so i wasnt much more successful dave

thanks dave and tanglerat for meeting up - as i was saying to you both my fishing oppurtunities are few and far between this weather so its nice to get out and have a chat
the next day i had 5 hours on leenan for a 14cm flounder, the fishing of all types seemed to be slow
hit poolbeg on sunday night last for a blank aswell - just to be sure!
