Report:
Bought a diawa supercast 115 last year to fish the interprovencial up north but it clashed with the clubs annual dinner so the rod was put back in storage. This morning it was dusted down and taken to Ringabella, a tidel estuary at the mouth of Cork harbour (western shore). First cast a doubler of flounder 40 and 37 cm next cast a doubler of flounder 37and 42 cm third cast a bass 43 cm after that 3 more flounder 34, 42 and 37 cm. No fish on the next cast so time to go home. Is this a record of somesorts for a new rod.

Thats some fishing donal. Nice way to christen a rod! What sort of condition were the flounder in?

All alive and kicking. No fish was killed during this sesion. This veniue always fishes great when the flounder come back after spawning. Next month the flounder will be gone up into the mud flats in the harbour. Different fishing new tactics, but still great flounder fishing

Hi Donal,

Is Ringabella to the right of Fountainstown or by Roberts cove?

hi ya donal. was it fresh or frozen crab you were using.

Good stuff Donal!

Sounds like I was over a couple of weeks too early!!
:(

Nice one Donal, I would have put them all out in a comp though :lol:

If you call crab that were picked 2 weeks ago fresh then they were fresh.

Ringabella is on the road to Roberts Cove. Turn left 1.2 miles from Minane Bridge and take the left turn 1.6 miles from that turn off. As to where the best spot is 8) 8) 8) .
