Killiney 29th May

Fri May 30, 2014 9:21 pm

People:
Just me

Duration:

22:30 - 01:30

Tide:

High water around 12 ish

Weather:

Wet, foggy, cold

Bait:

Frozen black lug, a few frozen sandeels

Rigs:

3 hook flapper, 1 hook clip down

Results:

5 Codling, a few dabs, loads of pin whiting

Report:

Accuweather lied to me. 6% chance of rain my eye. Leaving the shelter at home was a school-boy error though :oops:

I set up quickly and got the baits in the water. A single sandeel at range and a 3 hooker flapper close in armed with trusty frozen black lug. There was a nice chop in the water but the undercurrent wasn't fierce; both rods held bottom with 5oz grips easily. The absence of weed a nice bonus.

The first hour was spent hauling strings of east coast piranha in. Fingers well chopped and rain pelting in, thoughts of a early night entered the head. A dodgy tangle with a spare rig nearly made my mind up for me. However a nice knock on the flapper in close banished these illogical thoughts and a decent spring codling broker the surface. No biggy but a nice morale booster. A few more codling obliged interspaced with a couple of dabs.

I blanked on the few eels at range so I switched that one to a flapper as well
