Duration: 5 hours

Tide: top 2 and 3 of the fall

Weather: glorious

Report: we were out checking out a few marks for an upcoming comp, we hit this spot off greystones and that was were we got the huss & tope, without flogging a dead horse the best rig of the day was the orange animal bashers from shamrock, the huss averaged around the 10 & 12 lbs mark and the biggest tope was 44 lbs a massive male,

Excellent!! Any more pics?

Nice fishing Mick, can ye take a quick look at your PMs when you get a chance... :wink:

Nice Tope Mick, Especially considering it was a male.....

Lovely fish Mick. I was down there yesterday myself and all I got was two dropped runs. I know where all the tope were now!!

Were you anchored or on the drift? If you fancy sharing your mark feel free to pm me.

Cheers,
Ed

Was down that way myself yesterday with a buddy. We had 5 huss and about 40 dogs but no tope.

i have asked one of the moderators to remove the picture of the tope, i am very pro catch & release and will always return fish to the sea if possible as quickly and with the least amount of stress possible , unfortunately the tope i caught did loose some blood which was not in anyway done with intent just done through the sheer force of a big fish pulling for 20 mins on a 6/0 hook, the fish was returned to the sea and not kept to weigh on the shore as i am not a trophy hunter looking for badges, just an angler who enjoys catching fish and seeing them return back to there depts

for any one interested i got these fish of the fingers outside greystones just on the turn of the slack, the co-ords are 053.11.40N 006.00.00W fishing is in 122ft of water you need to anchor

After you photo'd your avatar you put in back to the depths of the fish box :lol: :lol: :lol:

dont think so buddy, i dont think that tope is on the menu in dublin, i suppose you never know what the culchies will eat next do you, :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not talking about the tope, it's the skanky looking ling I'm on about :lol: :lol: :lol:

ha ha you can talk, have you not had a look at yourself recently, the fish your holding are nice, but i think its you who should be thrown back, you have the head of a wolf fish :lol: :lol: :lol:

Fair play Mick, cheers.

Oi Mickeyfish, you're getting personal now! :x
Easy target I'd have to say. I can't hit back 'cos I've never seen a picture of you anywhere :lol: :lol: :lol:


:D

jim,

i can see why mickey fish might get frustrated. Every time someone posts here sharing fishing information or reports, someone has a go at them over either conservation or safety at sea. Get a job on a trawler for a week and you will see how daft your point about mickey's ling is

Jaysus John we're just having a bit of craic.

Rather that getting that job I'll just stick with this: http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/bull ... php?t=7634

and you wont see one either, i fish with modesty and dont rely on attention, but you will hear my name as a respected angler

:lol:

Kick his ass Mickeyfish! Give him a slap of yer skanky ling! :D :D :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

i believe you mean the ling he's holding. cough cough cough not his cough cough

just had a look at the picture in the album and while the picture does show some blood, its surely nothing more than can be expected from a fish that size. I'm sure that if someone caught me by a hook in the mouth i'd bleed that much too.

well done on the superb catch mickeyfish, you really are a credit to the sport. not everyone gets to represent their country at their sport and i believe you only narrowly missed out this year.
