Duration: 6 - 11
Tide: lw mainly filling at the end
Weather: spitting rain first hour then brightness and actually quiet fine
Bait: frozen mac, launce, squid, bad rag
Rigs: floats, ledgers, flappers
Results: goldshinny & ballan wrasse, pollack, dogs, whiting.
Report: with bait left over from wicklow it was down to DL to finish it off.
the wrasse were onto the worm instantly but the hook ups few and far between - downsized the hooks but by 30mins 1 wrasse (to mark) and the bites died off
they were picking away but not hooking but had lost interest - moved down the pier a bit - got them back on - could clearly see them taking it - 4 goldshinnys about the hook!
then every so often a larger ballan would attack it from them
got 2 gold shinnnys out and then eventually got the ballan
the bites were continuous but very few hook ups
mark got a good dog on the other rod and a whiting
i persisted at the wrasse - changed hooks size 4s size 6s - small fish - but none even fouling themselves with constant bites for well over an hour and a half
could not hook them - so wily
changed to the ledgers and got a pollack straight off - then started getting loads of whiting
mark got another dog and whiting
an old gull ran into his rod for one of the dead whiting - 2 seconds later another gull completed the job!!
then the playful seals turned up!!!
im sure some of the more sluggish whiting returnees were eaten
the fishing died off unsurprisingly
then it came back on - more whiting
seals returned - you get the picture
decided to leave it round 11
anyway another satisfactory session - into the double figures again -and some interesting fishing
happy days
