Duration: 6 - 10.30
Tide: ht 10pm
Weather: rain
Bait: rag and mack
Rigs: 1 hook pat, 2 hook flapper
Results: dogs, whiting, dab, tompot blenny, corkwing wrasse, lobster and a hermit crab!
Report: went down knowing i would get something but was not expecting this session - it was constant until about 9.30 - in close and out far
the first cast produced a whiting - then the dogs took over at distance - had the other rod in close that was picking up crab bites but then got a dog there too
more whiting more dogs - then a dab showed up
inclose i knew i had somthing on - a lobster - no great size but first time i got one of them
next cast on the small rod a corkwing wrasse - beautiful colouration
then a tompot blenny
out far the dogs and whiting kept showing
mark had a dab first cast then had another and things went queit for him
he eventually got a whiting - then had a few more and dog or 2 eventually showed for him - he also brought in a hermit crab!!!
i got another tompot - having great craic in close!
then as the tide got near the top - the weed came into play - started losing hooks and rigs/weights
the fishing slowed - there was still the odd dog or whiting showing
the weed got worse on HT
but we hung on for a bit of the darkness - the catch rate didnt improve greatly
i was soaked to the bone - so packed it in at 10.30
its been a long time since i got over 20 fish in a session - good to get a few new species in
and all that on a week night - down the road - and people go on and on about amazing marks down the country - why bother!!!
getting the report up
