People:me and the family
Duration:about 2 hours
Tide:dropping
Weather:Sunny, no wind
Bait:mackerel
Rigs:float
Results:1 mullet (and lots of crabs :) )
Report:Brought the kids out to go crab fishing at tramore pier and through in my spinning rod (just in case :) )
Got out there to find about 10 people fishing the end of the pier that is tight enough when fishing 2, so we had a walk around and saw a lot of big mullet feeding in the dock.
I started to cut up some mackerel into very small pieces and got a hand full into the water only to be told by the crowd that were fishing not to waste my time. " Don't you know that you cant catch them" :D :D
was shouted at me a few times.
So in goes a my bait and within 20 seconds I had a fish on. After a dogged scrap I landed a 3lb 6oz fish to the applause of the now frenzied mob that surrounded me :evil: :evil:
What happened next would have driven me to murder only for I saw the funny side of it.
I was fishing a gap in the ropes that held the boats. It was at most 10 foot wide and the 10 or so lads that were just after telling me that that they could not be caught casted into where I was fishing at once. One guy caught a mullet and the rest of them got in a tangle like you wouldn't believe. :D :D :D
Needless to say they scared away all the fish but I nearly Pi**ed myself watching them trying to sort out the mess.
No pics as I forgot my camera :evil: :evil: :evil:
