North Wicklow beach 01-04-09

#1 Post by eyesreilly »

People:ME, NEIL, JOHN BUNN

Duration:7-10PM

Tide:FALLING

Weather:CALM,MILD,SEA DEAD FLAT

Bait:RAG,SQUID,MACK

Rigs:FLAPPERS AND 1 HOOK CLIPPED DOWN.

Results:WHITING, DOGGIES ,DAB




Report:Met Neil and John at Greystones north beach to have a go at some doggies and we werent (too) disappointed . I was first in with a decent thick doggie,,by thick i mean a decent sized one not one of those that keeps coming back onto the beach :roll: . John Bunn was next in with a decent 28cm dab so we were entitled to slag fishface at that stage. We knew that with his luck he'd have the last laugh but we gave him a taste of his own medicine for a while anyways :lol: . John ended up with 7 fish, 1 x Dab, 3 x doggies and 3 x whiting, Neil with 5, and i trailed in with 2 doggies and a whiting, though another doggie slipped the hook just as i landed him (got some stick over that :oops: ). As darkness fell Neil produced his latest toy, a Petz Ultra headlamp and its really bright, with a wide beam, though it would want to be for the price :shock: :shock: .And i thought my silva l1 was bright :roll: .Got a call to tell me that Ireland had got a draw in Italy so i went home extra happy.
