West Waterford 03 Apr

Postby Paddy002 » Mon Apr 04, 2016 8:09 am

People: me

Duration: 11am-3pm

Tide: high at approx 3pm

Weather: rain, south easterly winds

Bait: Crab, Frozen mack

Rigs: pennel pulley

Results: codling

Headed out on saturday morning despite the forecast being poor, reched my mark about an hour after low water and bar being dull and overcast conditions were ideal and i had high hopes. Baited up the 2 rods with crab and launched them out. within minutes of casting my optimism turned into dismay as the rods started tapping slightly as eels tore my baits apart :( The plagued me for 2-3 hours... it stated to pour so i packed up and headed home with the dreaded blank.

On sunday i headed out again for a deeper mark I set up both rods with pulleys and baited up with crab and mack within in minutes I had a strong bite and pulled in a reasonable sized dog. for the next 2 hours i was kept busy with small codling 1-2lb

Hard to find any decent fishing at the moment. Can I ask, were the eels in an estuary mark?
