People: Paddy, Paddy, Goggins and Me

Duration: 7pm - 10pm

Tide: Push, High

Weather: Still

Bait: Feathers, Mack.

Rigs: Flashers, 2 Hook Pat.

Results: 1 Mack and some Pollack

Report:

Just out chucking feathers for a while, I had the only Mack of the night and we also got some Pollack over the back wall.

Reason I'm reporting this is, A guy caught a Cuckoo Wrasse off the pier! First time I've seen one off the Dee and great to look at! It seemed to be a dark coloured female and was caught on a flasher trace.

and that about covers it... :L

trust you to get the first mack of the season

, well done m8, can't get out for a while due to other committments, but when i do i'm gonna give the old marina round the corner a go. i scouted it out at low tide the last time i was down and it looks to be a wrasse oasis

that no one ever seems to fish. can't understand why

but the enviroment ticks all the boxes for good sized wrasse habitat, so if you're up for it, i was thinking of planing a bit of a wrasse species hunt day, to see how many different kinds of wrasse can be got in one session

i'll post nearer the time to let you know when. got a new contact for king rag (these things are like snakes!!!

) i'm guessing any wrasse over 2/3 lb would go nuts for em, and anything smaller would have issues getting them in thier chops

keep you posted, AL

good to see a report from infamous Donaghadee Pier. Thats a great catch from the shore. I'm heading out tonight and torn between mackerel hunting or mullet frustration.
