Report:
headed out on low tide from spiddal pier a bit over cast breezey and nice size waves 1.2 swell the 2 hours spin out past the islands seemed to to fly by for us it was a small bit rocky going out but no-one minded at all except lucas who had started to change color at the pier .even the dolphins were out and about playing in front of the boat . started the first drift around 11am a few coalies and pollaock were taken in and a foul hooked pilchard (it all counts )
martin (the austrian) was using some funky squid that were keeping the fish of his hooks everyone else had caught fish
even lucas who at this point was feeding the fish with the contents of his stomach .
i had some lumi hookai that wer working ok not as good as the feathers though. tried baiting the hooks with mack and whiting but no joy . at around 3 the fish seemed to go mad with 7 being landed by andy on his feathers and martin catching his first fish of the day well once he removed the squid perfect weather conditions out ther nice and calmish sun shining
