People: tommy, brendan and jw
Duration: 900-1700
Tide: neap
Weather: big messy sea running off west coast from equinoxial gales, SW 15-20 knots
Bait: mackerel
Rigs: wire
Results: mackerel, herring, pollack, whiting, haddock, red and grey gurnards, blue and porbeagle sharks
Report: the first herring of the autumn has shown up at loop head, joey and regular mackerel plentyful at loop
head if you can get near it, and scattered up the estuary as far as the battery.
water temp down to 13.5 deg out to sea, but this fine blue shark took one of the baits 15 min after we put them out.
im convinced there are porbeagles around this time of year as one sometimes gets big powerful runs followed by
200lb wire being bitten clean through, i always use 500lb now. Pugnacious little chap chased us
round the deck a couple of times before we could get hold of him and put the tag in
