Thu May 31, 2007 9:48 am

People: Myself, Livid, Davy Mac, Dogfish Dave, Rusty, Heasley, Big Tom, John, and 2 others.

Duration: 6pm - 11pm

Tide: Big n Wet

Weather: Not too bad.

Bait: Vietnamese Sandeel, Mackeral, Party Squid

Rigs: Flowing Traces, Feathers, Jellyworms, Conger Setups.

Results: Mackeral, Pollack, Coalfish, Codling, Ling, Whiting, L.S. Dogfish, Huss.

Report: The return of the Wednesday club started off quite Slowly with a few Moves around the Island first we drifted over the Reef just on the Carrick side of the back of Copeland where we managed a few small Coalies.

Next was a move to the Sand where a few Coalies, a Couple of Dogs, and a whiting were caught, Next was a move back round the Islands, after a few drifts with Limited Success we ended up Back on the Carrick side of the Islands where after a few Hecktick Drifts (producing Codling, Coalies, Macks, Ling and Pollack) we decided we'd anchor.

A Couple of Dogfish arrived to baits first, when Dogfish Dave Hooked into something a Bit more substancial after carelyfully playing it arrived at the Surface it was a BIG Huss it thrashed on the surface but in Typical Huss fashion it dropped the bait. Now this is where it got interesting, after a lot of yelling and a lot of laughing from the rest of us, Dave got his bait back in the water he got a Bite he described as '2 Taps' and gave it some Line, about 30 seconds Dave was back into something Substancial and this time made sure the Hook was Set well, 2 minutes later a 13lb11oz Bull Huss Writhed on the deck of the Missy Moo.... We all knew Dogfish Dave deserved it.... and he manages, yet again, to live up to his name.
