Report: Arranged with Neil to fish Greystones Harbour for a few hours before he went on one of his many holidays. The report from Roger and company had be chomping at the bit to get out, so I got myself organised from early . Unfortunately this didn't stop me from forgetting a few items such as scissors and more importantly rigs . Arriving at the Harbour I got talking to a father and son who were just leaving,,,,,"Any luck?", says I,,,,,,,,"A nice flounder" , was the reply and the young lad say's "That funny man on the pier has already got one and he's only there a few minutes ". I knew it was going to be one of those night's I got set up and it wasn't long before I had a double of Rockling . After having 2 blanks previously I was delighted to be back at the races but there was a lull after that for me Not so for Neil ,,,,,he had one fish after another and soon had six or seven, among them rockling, whiting and a nice little flounder . Neil left early, presumably to give me a chance to catch up , and I moved into his spot. I had a nice pollock ,around 33cms, in close on rag/mack, then another smaller one. A couple more Rockling and a few small whiting was my total for the night,,,,,,not too bad I suppose,,and a lot better than my last few sessions .

Sounds like you were kept busy Eyes,,,,the rag must work better than lug there?

nice one Dave & Neil, the dream team back in old form, well done and Happy Easter!

Dont blame of for your wanting to go out!you dont need an excuse!!!!lol
You didn't blank most importantly and a few pollock shows the fish are returning to shallower water that's good news! Fair play lads!was there much weed about Dave?
