Donaghadee 10th June

#1 Post by rdoggart »

People:Me and the two kids

Duration:9:30pm - 10:30pm

Tide: Just High

Weather: Slight breeze

Bait: Feathers

Rigs:Feathers

Results: 16 Pollock between us.




Report: Decided at about 8:30pm to go down to the Dee for a quick session with the kids to get them out of the house. Got there and setup by 9:30pm and decided to have a little competetion, rules where we would fish for 1 hours, and only allowed to use 1 set of feathers. The results where Peter 8 Pollock, me 5 Pollock and Ryan 3 Pollock, although Ryan lost his feathers after about 25 minutes. The fish ranged in size from about half a pound to one and a half pound and where all caught from the back of the lighthouse.

It was a good we session.

Al,

There was just us at the start but then some others "youths" turned up, but did not stay long.

i almost forgot about the influx of the summer "youths" down there :roll: :roll: :roll: some right wee toerags in the summer down there :evil: just have to keep telling yourself to remember they're likely under 18, so sometimes you just gotta bite your lip and say nothing, when a good clip on the ear would be the best remedy :twisted: :roll: :roll:

If you fish off the back of the peir away from the lighthouse you can avoid them. They don't like loosing feathers in the kelp!
