Ballywilling Beack Cork
Date: 15/01/19
Time: 17:00-23:00
Tide:
LW: 18:18 - 1.28m
HW: 00:004 - 3.47m
Rigs: #4/0 penn Pulley, #1 wishbone pulley, #1 3HF
Bait: mackerel, sandeel ,crab, squid
Fish: on Sandeel , 6dogs , 6 painteds , 5 bass , 1 coalie
on Mackerel , 1 painted , 1 bass
on crab squid cocktail, 2 dogs
My self and my buddy decided to fish Ballywilling last night . We fished an hour before low and up to nearly high water. Every cast for the first 2 hours produced a fish . As the tide started to creep over the mid water mark fishing slowed down. We packed up at about 11 o clock. Plenty of painted caught. Nearly all on sandeel. All good size painteds too. Bass were small schoolies. I was using crab squid cocktail at range on a 4/0 Penn Pulley in the hoped of a cod or 2 but none showed up only dogs. My second rod was a wishbone pulley with size one hooks , one baited with mackerel and the other with sandeel. This produced the majority of my fish, 2 painteds and 2 bass. Noel out fished me by a mile with a 3hf casted close with sandeel top and bottom and mackerel in the middle. He ended up with 4 ray, 3 bass(maybe more I cant remeber
) 1 coalie and 4 dogs. Most of his fish were on sandeel and had a lot of double hook ups.

Great session Corkonian, nice mix of fish. I'd love to get a painted from the shore, had a few good ones from the boat and I think they're the hardest fighting ray. So the 3hook flapper outfishes the pulley for rays, seen that a lot myself!

Ya I find it seems to outfish the pulley, but I find the 3 hooks can sometimes become a mess especially in surf , I'd usually stick with a 2 hook flapper for the surf beaches for them.
