Report:
well,the forecast wasnt great for yesterday,so we couldnt go through with the shark fishing.we sat under the lighthouse at clare island,drifting and pulling a few fish on all of the time.we went on anchor for a while,using the joey mackeral we had caught for bait looking for conger,but no success.as the wind came up we moved in to mulranny to try for a skate,again despite Reg's best efforts we had no joy.plenty of dogs to keep us entertained though.no big fish for the day,apart from a nice 7lbs+ pollack,captured by reg on a joey,but we had fish come on board pretty much from start to finish,so it could have been worse! :wink:
