When: 28/09/2020
Where: Malahide Estuary & Beach
Who: Myself
Estuary Duration: 14:30-17:30
Beach Duration 18:00-22:30
Low Water: 16:01
High Water: 22:12
Equipment: 9ft spinning rod with 4000 reel. 15ft beach rod with 9000 reel. 11ft bass rod with 4000 reel.
Rigs: Pennel Pulley & flapper.
Bait/Lures: 28g Kilty Catcher Chartreuse in the estuary then cocktails of ragworm, lugworm, mussel & peeler crab on the beach.
Conditions: Sunny spells, chilly and breezy.
Result: Fat Blank
Spent 4 hours gathering bait yesterday for today's fishing, ragworm and peelers seem to have gone a bit scarce? anyway got down to the estuary about an hour and a half before low tide to spin 1 down and 1 up, few other lads fly fishing either side of me but nobody seemed to be catching anything. Went back to the car for a break and to get the beach fishing gear then at half 5 and was back down on the beach at 6. I setup near a large deep gulley that runs from the main channel of the estuary straight towards the shore so I thought if I fish into it as the tide pushes me up the beach I should be in luck. About 2 hours into it I started getting a few bites but nothing seemed to be hooking up, that went on for about an hour and then it went quiet for the rest of the night

Hard luck, Gonzo. I'm sure you'll catch something there eventually. Thinking of heading there the next early morning low tide. Might see you there!

Hi Gonzo, thanks for the reports. I was one of the fly fishers, no seatrout but I had a mackerel when I headed downstream of you. Regards , Gillaroo
