People: Me, Myself, agus I

Duration: 2:30-5:00 PM

Tide: Risin I think

Weather: Sunny No wind

Bait: Rag, Lug, Mack, Razor

Results: Codling (My first) , Dabs, Sack of Dogs, Cuckoo Wrasse, Sea scorpion.




Report: Arrived at the pier baited up a 2 Hook flapper With rag and lug. Lobbed it out about 80 or 90 yards. Baited up a second trace this time with a sliver of mack and a few maddies. after a few moments there was a few knocks on the rod tip picked it up to see what the craic was felt another nibble struck reeled it in and had a Dab and a stinkin Dog. this continued until around 4:00. Then there was a bite that looked different....A lot different... once again i took the fishing stick and felt for any bites there was a nice bang knock on the rod so i struck and started reeling, after a few moments i saw the fish in the water and to my surprise it was a CODLING this really made my day because it was my FIRST EVER!!. Next I got a Cuckoo Wrasse another FIRST for me. The fishing didn't get much better just got a few more Dogs and a Sea Scorpion.

Nice fishing, well done on your first codling. I think that wrasse might be a ballan. They do vary in colour a bit.

[i][b][color=#0000BF] best advice for catching species is girls dont like fishing and its hard to catch fish when you sell all your gear'[/color][/b][/i]
