Where: Skerries Pier
Duration: 23:30-01:15
High Water: 01:37
Equipment: 11ft bass rod with shimano 4000 reel.
Bait/Lures: Twisted boom arm trace with 2 squid lures attached and a 3oz lead at the end.
Conditions: Cold, full moon, murky water.
Result: Blank

Wanted to try Skerries again for some squid seeing as there was a red moon a few days ago and it's still pretty much a full moon. I parked down the very end of the pier with my car running and lights on full beam as I read squid are attracted to light! I would have a few casts then put the lures down sitting in front of the headlights to charge up while I warmed up in the car for a few minutes and repeat. 2 hours, all I caught was a heap of bootlace and a cold I reckon the main issue was the water being very coloured, so I'll give it another try on the next full moon and hopefully there is a bit more clarity!

Fair play for trying! You sure are putting the hours into this craic!

Yeah, respect to you for trying and I hope you get some soon. I think a good few people will wait till they see you getting them and then you will have company on those cold nights.

Fair play for getting out
You love the cold and the rain

At which point gonzo will post a few days late!

Clear water definitely helps
