Report:
Had an impromptu trip with the Mcgroary fella last night and just managed to catch the last of the ebb at Ringaskiddy to drop the boat in. Slow trip out as far as paddys point though as we were only in a foot and a half of water at times and could feel the engine nudging the bottom at times...
Headed out to Harbour rock and threw down the anchor, couldnt get onto the usual mark as there was a long line of gear shot there, presumably a string of pots given the ground. Fishing 2 rods each with one geared for conger and the others tackling everything else, it was slack enough. A few pollack to about 3lbs, a small conger of 6/7lbs, a couple of poor cod and a solitary doggie were the only takers. With darkness looming, we had 3 shortish drifts over the bank and managed a plaice and a whiting.
Not the most exciting of days but a nice evening to be out and after a stressful day at work, just the ticket to clear the head a bit. 2 more species aboard Duke for me brings the running total up to 18 on the wee boat this year without any great effort, mostly around the harbour too with the exception of ling which is a clear sign of the great variety of fishing thats available there even from the Orkney.
You never told me about the size of them beasties on the rock....
