Culletons Gap/Ballyconnigar, Wexford December 16

People: Me

Duration: From about 11.30 am to 3 pm

Tide: In at 4pm

Weather: Dry, bright, cold, still frost on the wooden walkway in Culletons Gap.

Bait:Frozen Peeler, Sand Eel, Razor Fish, frozen mackeral.

Rigs:Pulley with razor, bomber.

Results: 1 Flounder, 1 Coley

Catch and Release:: Yes

Report: I had made a flying visit to Wexford to drop someone back from the airport and I made a deliberate decision to stay off the gargle that night. I stopped off first in Culletons Gap near the entrance to the wood at raven point and set up two rods- one with razorfish on a pulley, the other with crab and sandeel on the bomber.
Eventually I pulled in a flounder on the crab.

After stopping off for food, I decided to stop in Ballyconnigar. I was hoping there may be some codling around, or if I was lucky a bass. I had plenty of taps on the bomber rig, but nothing nothing happening to the crab/razor cocktail on the pulley.
Eventually I got a decent bite and managed to get a ccoalfish.

I had planned to stop off at few other places but I had to head on..

Not great fishing but I have never done well on those beaches in daylight

I know, but I'll take the hours when I get them. I had hoped to fish Ballyvaldon and other beaches further notrth into darkness but I was summoned back to Dublin!

Hi Lads.How does curraclow fish.I am usually in Wexford a couple of times a year and although I have walked the beach I never got to have a go there.

Most of the beaches on that stretch have the same sort of texture. I find them best at night. If fishing during the day you need to have some surf. have a look at the first photo on JD's report.
