killiney 5/7/011

#1 Post by eric »

People: just me

Duration: 8-11

Tide: down and up over low tide

Weather: sunny and mild, good south easterly breeze

Bait: rag and mackerel

Rigs: 2 hook loops

Results: 1 dogfish and 2 whiting




Report:spur of the moment trip recently inspired to go fishing again by i dont know what! i felt the sudden urge to wet a line. so afgter buying a few rag and a pack of frozen mac i was on my way to killiney beach for a few casts. hopes wernt to high given the poor conditions but still i was here to chill so even one fish would do. found a few loop rigs i had made up from my old match fishing days and got to work. still knew how to pop a rag on a hook and fillet a mackereland cut it into strips for tipping. so that was good to know. then found myself tying a grinner knot which went well :) managed only a few fish my first being a dogfish at distance on rag tipped with and then two small pin whiting into darkness close in on straight rag aimed at a flattie. all in all killiney was as mediocre as predicted hopefully il be out again at the weekend yeowww

Good to see you back at it. Pin whiting and doggies? Get yourself back down to dalkey for a few snakes. That wouldn't be long reminding you what you've been missing.

Great to see you out fishing again, although it may end my total domination of the match scene since you retired!

Ohh and I'm keeping ur Sensas bucket even if you do make a full comeback! :D
