Beach near Courtown 13/6/2015

People; On me tod.

Duration; 8 til midnight.

Tide; Haven't a clue.

Weather; Mild NE wind, little surf.

Bait and rigs; Frozen crab on a pulley out as far as I can cast. Rag on a double hook flapper varying distances.

Results; Smoothound and doggies.

This was my first beach fishing trip in years, a quick visit to Courtown angling in the afternoon sorted me out with the rigs and bait and I was fishing just outside Courtown.

Started getting bites on the rag straight away, doggies and smoothound pups to beat the band but nothing of any size.

I had a couple of smoothound pups on the crab but missed the only decent bite when it pulled over the rod stand, I guess I'm a bit out of practice!

After about 11 o clock the flapper rig was getting stripped without any bites registering so I assumed small whiting were or crabs were doing their thing.

It was great craic though, I'd forgotten how much fun a god shore session is.

Had similar results ourselves the previous week down that direction.

Just figured out how to add photos.

Not sure how the fish turned upside down though
