People:2
Duration:8 hours

Weather:wet!!! and overcast
Bait:rag and mackerel and squid
Rigs:t bar, single wire pennel
Results:12 species, LSD, blonde ray (3) 20, 24, spec 28.5 cod, whiting pollock, Dab, ling,plaice, poor cod, pouting, grey gurnard, Haddock (15 ) average 3-4lbs
Report: Having travelled to ring in Clonakilty for a competition, with the weather wet but calm winds, with all the boats ready to go the comp was mysteriously cancelled , citing the bad weather!!?, at which point all the boats then set out to sea to go fishing, confused , we were!
So we decided to go to cork where we know the area pretty well, and fancied a go at the blondes in the harbour.
I managed to get my first specimum blonde at 28.5, (returned) so was very happy, we then headed offshore once the tide started to run hard in search of haddock, well we found them 6 miles out, and they were all fine fish.
A good day out after a bad start to the day, the wind did touch a force 3 during a gust that day!
