Poolbeg

People: Myself and Frank

Duration: 7pm-3am

Tide: high was 4.30am ish

Weather: southerly breeze, got stronger as the tide came in

Bait: fresh and frozen peeler

Rigs: pulleys

Results: 1 smoothy, 1 thornback, 1 LSD.




Report:

fished at the lighthouse for an hour or two, then down to the half-moon, where we were soon joined by 4 lads who hopped in without asking, which made things cramped to say the least. frank picked up a smoothy which dropped off at the wall, and then got a thorny and an LSD. i blanked apart from a pin whiting.

well done on the thorny and you will get alot of people litrally fishing on your foot this year down there its a disaster especially when people cant cast

it was 4 asian lads with 4 rods on one tripod and two baited traps over the edge literally shoulder to shoulder with us. Nearing ended up in the sea after tripping over one of their ropes from the traps!

Fair play, not many shore ray around these parts! Well done

Good man Roger, Think I was talking to them the other day.
They asked me, "what are you fishing for".
I replied, "because i don't like golf".

Never seen a ray caught in Dublin before, nice one !

Can you drive right up to the lighthouse or do you just park at the swimming club? Thanks

You will have to park the car at the car park and walk up the pier... Unless u bring a push bike with you , then that saves the long walk.. Lol

Gave it a go last night nothing happening had a few knocks around 9 but nothing took. asain lads were there casting in all directions .

well done nice to see the ray
