lms eric vs ferg

#1 Post by eric »

People:myself and ferg

Duration:saturday to sunday

Tide:various

Weather:lovely

Bait:crab,rag,sandeel,mackerel,maddies,lug,rag,jellyworms

Rigs:many

Results:pollock,dogs,ballan wrasse,dabs,plaice

eric-778pts
ferg-713pts




Report:left dublin on saturday morning and arrived in waterford station bout 12 o'clock, headed straight to ferg's mark, and after a tortuous walk of about 45mins we arrived. a stunning rock mark clearing to sand i decided to go for dogs from the beginning, 4 cast later and i had 3 dogs, then i missed a typical wow wow bite and so did ferg, knowing species points where necessary i decided it was time to try for a pollock, out went a jelly worm and 20 mintues later nothing, put on a rig for wrasse and got me pollock at 46cm, then two ballans followed suit, 31 and 29 respectively. while i was farting around looking for wrasse ferg had managed a double dog and the game was on. the last hour and a half or so we had 20 dogs between us, fergs final double led to his rod snapping at the tip which meant i could claw back a 3 dog deficit without trouble and proceeded to take a 6 fish lead, meanwhile ferg had earned a valuable 39cm pollock using different tactics. lines up and i was ahead by 5 fish.

after a night in a fine deise pub, we headed for my mark, greystones rocks, having amassed 49 fish on thursday night in 4 hours i was quietly confident of a god session, and knew my 5 fish lead was near enough to win.3 hours into the comp i had a plaice just under the mark, a few dogs where got too, two dogs behind here i knew i could claw my way back, ferg proceeded to hammer cleaning up with 5 dogs and an undersized dab, to my 1 dog and undersized plaice, back to the van to do the totals and i had won by 65 points, those wrasse proved valuable in the end :wink: roll on the next comp

Nice report Eric
!st time I have had computer on since. I really enjoyed it looking forward to next year.
Great Idea for a comp especially for the likes of myself who,s only fishing a short while. Learn,t a hell of a lot from eric. Tied a rig or two for me showed a few different ways of presenting bait etc so again thanks. That was of course until the last couple of hours when I had him sweating a little. Lost by approx one fish in the end. Fishing with to light gear for dog bashing.

Hope Eric enjoyed his night out in a Deise pub, a few more like that and he will be able for a proper night out with SAI lads
