South Shannon 3/5/08

#1 Post by gearoid mc s. »

People:me

Duration:9:30-12:30

Tide:lw at 11

Weather:gale force easterlys..sun & showers

Bait:mackerel & squid

Rigs:clipped pennels 2/0,3/0,4/0

Results:7 thornies to 4lbs




Report:well cortaz couldnt have it got it closer with his prediction (see my last report) I was sceptical because conditions were far from ideal and the most ive ever had from here were five so i didnt fancy my chances of any more than that..arrived traditionally late for a saturday morning..hard week at work..... first two cast 2 ray....good start...then weather got very blustery and did I not get a fish for an hour..then one small one at the turn of the tide then next cast blank on each rod..time for a change i thought...out came the squid next 3 casts 3 ray....one of these had a really strong bite but when i took it it was snagged solid...didnt want to lose it because at this stage cortaz's theory was looking possible so did the age old trick of giving the fish slack line and putting the rod down for 5 minutes...worked a treat because when i took it again the fish had freed and move off down tide..tide was getting too strong and ground was getting very snatchy at this stage so i took in one rod and began packing up being very pleased with myself ..turned around to be greeted with a rod half in the water and tripod knocked over(it was so windy i didnt even hear it falling!!!) strong fight ensued and landed the biggest of the day 4-4.5lbs...absolutely delighted with the day and in truth if i had fished a little better and a little longer i reckon ten fish would be a very achievable target!!!
Interesting point on the squid really got the fish back on the feed and with instant results..one cast couldnt have been in the water longer than 2 minutes....
Thanks to cortaz aswel had i not the motivation to test his theory i wouldnt have fished today when i looked out an saw those winds this morning!!!
Btw the next time i head out im fishing somewhere else these reports are getting a little repetitive lately :D

Ger, i suppose iam pushin it here, however :shock: think if you fished same mark with same set up tomorrow, maybe fish an extra hour............you could get 12/14, from 11/2 could be "siht hot", know the way you got a few today whitin mins. of castin, almost every cast could be like that, use 2 snools get em 2 at a time, tomorrow is a BIG day in the solar/lunar month, with 3 major "sulunar" events occuring at dawn/dusk and miday+2, between 12/1p.m. theres 3 happenings, 1, the moons is "new" at 12.30, 2, it will be in "transit" at about same time,..3, the sun,@ about 12.30, things will be what i call "balanced",...i think l.w. is about 12pm. in your area , .. so you would be fishin whats called "the first of flood......get into moonfishin and this "1" tide ( :) :wink: twill put some smile on your face 8) i often catch bass 2/3 a cast on this day, my single biggest catch of bass was also taken on the "first of flood"theres 12 in a yr. 1 in each month). :idea: ........ fish same mark exactly the same way on tuesday, u woulb be lucky to get 2/3 for the day........4..7..13..2 8)

Hey Gearoid.
Fished from 7.30am to about 11.30 (lw) when i had to leave. Id say i missed out on the 'first of flood' being too early. didnt get any ray unfortunately. Had 4 dogs and 3 whiting. So it wasnt all bad. Bait was been taken almost immediately.
Must try to put more hours in - maybe next weekend.

By the way - 7 Ray in 2 hrs!!! i think you should change ur name... to Ray?
