People: me and 1 other
Duration: 3.5 hrs
Tide: 1hr in 2.5 out
Weather: N - NW breeze pretty calm to start with wind picked up last 1hr or so
Bait: -
Rigs: brown rubber worm, 18g toby, orange rapala
Results: 2 pollack 1lb and 2.5lb
Report: origionally wanted to fish the flats - was looking for the old brown iascaracht sign - missed it!
little did i know i had passed the point of no return! the road was fairly packed with tourists and the rocks jammed with fishermen - so many cars parked no where could i turn - had to abandon it like the rest and join them
kids screaming birds nests all over the place - ended up walking so far south to competition marks 11 10 and 9 for a bit of peace and quiet
first noticeable thing - rubbish
picked up line every colour of the rainbow - couldnt understand how you would "bother" to wrap up the line - only to stick it in a crack in the limestone
the place was destroyed - and it wasnt only the mackie bashers - steel traces, cans, plastic bags, sandwich wrappers, lure wrappers - you get the picture
back to the fishing - my mates first time - started him on the toby - third flop cast he hooked a nice pollack - reckon around 3lbs - got him to the surface and the pollack "flipped" on breaking the water - lost
but it certainly had my mate hooked for the day!
right on high tide caught a red pollack out of the weed on the rubber worm - was returned
about 2hrs after HT was jigging with the rappala and got hit by the bigger one - terribly hooked took ages to get both trebles out of it
he stayed on the surface gold fish like for about 2mins before he recovered - good to see it swim away.
nice day in the end sun shinning - but a horrific reflection on fishermen - i could have spent the 3.5hrs picking up rubbish - oh yea the place was emptied at 4 for the footie! - typical
