Coliemore, Dalkey - 29/06/06

People:Me

Duration:3 Hours

Tide:Full tide on the ebb

Weather:Cloudy & windy

Bait: None

Rigs: Not sure of the name, sorry, it had 5 hooks, each with a small bit of shiny stuff & a couple of feathers.

Results: 6 Mackerel, 2 coalfish, 1 whiting & 2 (eel things - about 1 foot long with fins at the back?)


Report: Went down about 3pm with the intention of trying for a few mackerel after reading a report from Richie07 saying they were being caught in dunlaoire.
I had a good couple of hours fishing & done better than I expected seeing as I never caught a coalie before or the other "eel things", anyone have any idea what they could be from my limited description above?

I'd say they were garfish you had on the feathers:

Good range of species you got there!

If they weren't garfish, they were probably launce

Cheers lads, they were garfish :D I must have hit a school of them because they were both caught on the same cast.

Good man Hydra,good session,especially the garfish,well done.

Cheers Richie, are the garfish rare on the east coast or what? It was great to get a nice range of species when I was only expecting to get a mackerel if I was lucky.

Cheers :)
