Donegal Bay - Muc Mara - 24th July

Wed Jul 26, 2006 10:34 am

Another flat calm evening so headed out to reefs at Carrickfad. Mackerel were very plentiful again but only on the deeper parts of the reef but unfortunately that was pretty much the sum total of it so headed over to Doorn Point. Went in really close and baited the shrimpers with rag left over from the weekend..had some fun then catching wrasse and pouting, was only in 25 feet of water and the evening got even better when I picked up what I think was a goldsinny wrasse...small we fella with a dark spot near the tail fin :) Was well pleased to see him even if he was tiny!

Pete - sounds like a goldsinny alright - they normally are tiny little fellas - caught one off Tory last summer - again v. small fish.
