Greystones Pier 30/12/13

People:Myself & Rob M

Duration:2 hours

Tide:Low water 15:00

Weather:Bit windy & cold

Bait:Razor,Mack & Squid

Rigs:2 hook flappers

Results:Shore Rockling, 3&5 Beard Rockling & Pouting




Report:Having read a report or two of a few fish being caught of Greystones pier, myself and Rob decided to head down for a hour or two to try and increase the species count.

Nothing stirred for the first while, then as the light faded we started to get a few fish, starting of with a nice 3 Bearded Rockling for myself, then we had a few 5 bearded & shore Rockling and a lone Pouting. Surprising enough we didn't have a single bait robbing Whiting!!

Was by no means a hectic session, but enjoyable to be out.

So roll on next year to do it all over again, can't wait . . .

Good report and always good to beat the blank well done

34 species each. I'm happy with a draw. Roll on next year!

Fair play lads a few fish for your efforts

Good selection of "slugs"!

For me personally the LRFing made up a good few species. And a really enjoyable way of fishing, especially when ya get a half decent sized Ballan. . . Thanks for your comment.

Well done, that pier has become a staple for the hungry angler in bad weather.

Well done lads,,,,good going for 2 hours and well done on getting 34 species each, no mean achievement

well done lads nice little session to finish the year off
looking at your species lists interesting to see the two of yous had rockcook/small mouthed wrasse not looking for marks but were they caught near Dublin same question on the black goby

Can't remember where I got the smallmouth John. Perhaps MM might remember. It might have been the back of the South Pier in Wicklow.

Thanks John. Black Goby was in Downings, and Wrasse was Wicklow pier and Baltimore. Hope that helps.

cheers lads they are two that are proving very hard to get up this way have a location for the small mouth but it's not producing ah well there is all of next year to try.
I had 37 species in my boat this year all within a few miles of launch site in Dublin Bay I missed out on a couple of months fishing with serious health issues and i was also let down with a some i would normally find so im very happy with the way the fishing went in 2013 tight lines lads will see yous on the water in 2014

Hope your health is good now John, sorry to hear. 37 is amazing, would love to see that list! If you are ever stuck for somebody to head out with you could let me know!

Wow 37 is well impressive and all in Dublin Bay Area, and you also had a few nice specimens during the year, fair play. Hope the health is better now. Now I just need to improve on the fish count for next year! Can't wait! Tight lines for next year, I'm sure we'll see you around the Dalkey area.
