Greystones 16 August

Postby Moody Marlin » Fri Aug 16, 2013 11:27 pm

People:Myself & Smack

Duration:11am till 8pm

Tide:ebb & flood

Weather:light SW mainly overcast

Bait:Fresh Mackerel

Rigs:Sabiki & Flowing trace

Results:Mackerel, Tope, Dogs, Grey Gurnard, Tub Gurnard

Report:After hearing reports of a few Tope being caught of Greystones, myself and Smack decided to launch the boat dis morning and headed to Bray Head to get our Mackerel for the day. Then headed down to the Breaches bouy, and started our drift back north. 30 minutes in and bang, Smack's reel started to sing that sweet sound of a screaming reel. Short while later we had a beaut of a female Tope in the boat. Unfortunately I forgot to bring tags with me, we measured her and got a few pics. (Dont know how to upload pics) Then released to watch her swim away strongly. She measured in at 1550 x 607mm. That's just 50mm short of specimen length :( the lenght based formula put her at apprx 44lb. Fine fish. :) We did the drift another two times only picking up the odd dog. Then decided to head in close to the coast to try for a few species and managed a few Tubs & Grey Gurnards. All in all an enjoyable day cant wait to get out again. :)

Nice fish, just wondering how far off Brayhead were you getting Mackerel?, I fish from the shore there but only managed a few in 1 session a few weeks back, I pick up some nice Pollock though but always nice to get a few Macs for the pan.
A bad day fishing is better than a good day at the office!

To be honest we searched all around Brayhead (in close and out far)and only got one string of four all the rest came in ones. Bit scarce on the ground.
