Crew[/b harry and i
[b]Duration: 1.30-6pm
Tide:flood/ebb
Weather:overcast to start then splitting stones
Bait:rag lug mack crab
Rigs:various
Results:cod, whiting, ling, macks, LSD'S, pollack, ballan wrasse.
i managed to get afloat for a few hours today,i have not been out for about 5 weeks or so
not a bad day at all things started a bit slow with only whiting and a few macks to show,we decided to stay away from animals as the macks for bait were a bit scarce, we decided to try get a few fish for the table,we headed to some of my usual haunts not long before i had a nice bite on my mini rod had a cod of about 3.5lb to a tiny bit of rag on a size 10 hook lip hooked 
it was only in the net when my other rod arched over after a nice little scrap a 4lb pollack was getting his lights put out 
that was it from this mark so another couple of moves seen us getting into a few nice fat wrasse and a few small pollack.
next stop was time to hit a ling mark i have we only had the anchor set when harry had a cod of about 2.5lb in the boat not a bad start,we had big baits out and i had the mini rod on the go harry also had a rubber eel out on his spinning rod.
next thing harry was into a nich fish taken close to the bottom on the eel, a also got a nice knock on the mini rod after a good scrap i had a ling in the net touching 4lb on a tiny bit of mack size 10 hook again then harrys fish surfaced a much better ling, but before i could get mine from the net harrys line snapped at the lure, ling and lure gone 
made another move and we managed a few nice pollack best been 5lb not a bad few hours and great to be on the water
sorry for no pictures forgot the camera and phone

good on you John , well done! At least you're getting out, more that I can say for myself, having my inlaws here until mid October ah well, I consider my sufferings as personal contribution to boost Irish tourism

Thanks lads , im just about getting out martin , the winds have been ruining plans over this side the last few weeks not looking great for this weekend either 
having the inlaws that long should be more of an excuse for you to get out fishing at least 3 times a week, that would nearly cut their stay in half for you
