Hi lads.
Just going to write a summary of the days fishing on saturday. Danny and I fished Achill (Dugort, Purteen and Cloughmore) on Saturday afternoon. The fishing was very slow. We only had Frozen Mackeral for bait.
)
We started on Dugort and fished the last few hours of the ebb using flapper rigs and various hook sizes(2s,4s). But not even a bite was registered here.
From here we drove over to purteen harbour. And fished the rocks.Just as we arrived There was a bunch of english lads landing back from a day out on a boat Jigging for Pollack and Cod. They had two boxs of Cod, Ling and Pollack. One of the Cod was pushing the 15lb mark at least cracking fish.
At the rocks in purteen we had 12 Dogs between us and nothing else. Using various rigs and bait sizes.Does anyone know can theses rocks through up a few flatties ray etc when casting onto the sand about 50-60 yards out?..
To finish the evening off, we hit cloughmore harbour. I thought it may be a good idea given the weak tides. The currant is sight to behold at this spot on big tides. A scary one at that.
We dropped two wire traces with 6/0 circles and large sections of mackeral down by the piles to see was there a conger knocking about and set up two rods fishing out into the channel.
The places looks like it should be amazing for conger and also every other species. We didnt have any bites here and the crabs were stipping our baits rapidly.
