Dublin Bay, 7/4/13.
Sun Apr 07, 2013 8:21 pm
People:Myself, SeanK and a new angler.
Duration: 11.00-13.30
Tide: HW 11ish
Weather: South easterly, dry but cold
Bait: Wraps, lug, mackeral, crab.
Rigs: flappers
Results: A solitary flounder.
Report:
Decided to stay local and get a quick session in this morning. Got to the mark just as the tide was turning to be greeted by the now customary stiff, cold breeze
Wasn't expecting much after the last few weeks but managed to get a flounder on wraps tipped with mack after about an hour 
I just about stopped myself from doing a full soccer-style celebration with the sheer relief of having actually caught something!! First flounder of the year at 27 cm so happy out, I'd almost forgotten what one looked like 
Unfortunately the lads blanked but they'll be back another day I'm sure.

Well done on catching,,,I know how you feel about the celebration . Pin Whiting = Cartwheel Things will improve soon with a bit of luck so save the celebration for a Bass or a Smoothie hopefully

It was a bit of a nightmare all right. I think it will be pier fishing In Greystones this Friday to up the morale. Have had bad luck in Dublin,And two Wicklow marks over the weekend so things will have to get better.
