boyne bar 25 aug 2013 drogheda

People: me and me mate

Duration: 6 hours

Tide: ebb and flow

Weather: calm

Bait: rag, sand eel

Rigs: 2 hook flappers

Results: 1 eel

after 2 unsuccessful trips to ballymoney beach in the last few weeks, we decided to try the boyne bar. rods were twitching all night, i guess those wee flatties were hungry. . . .and when i say wee, i mean wee. no more than a couple of inches.

4 hours of stripped hooks had passed when finally a nudge on the big rod {15ft} and the eel was landed. about 18" long.. . .
that was it for the remainder of the night.

the highlight of the night tho was watching the search and rescue chopper scouring the sea for whatever reason. . .

fishing on the east coast has been so poor recently




Report:

Think I saw you there yesterday. I just spun for an hour. Any ideas on a better venue nearby ?
Any ideas from anyone appreciated

where you the boy fishing near the wall that I spoke to?

I was fishing the beach at the mouth of the river

ye had fished further down the rocks too. Might give it another go

unlucky lads. coud be worth giving port beach a go. you should get something off it at this time of year. even if it's only a few flats

I got 8lb bass at port beach last year

Did better sun night at laytown. 1 bass 1 flounder
