Report:Having read a report or two of a few fish being caught of Greystones pier, myself and Rob decided to head down for a hour or two to try and increase the species count.
Nothing stirred for the first while, then as the light faded we started to get a few fish, starting of with a nice 3 Bearded Rockling for myself, then we had a few 5 bearded & shore Rockling and a lone Pouting. Surprising enough we didn't have a single bait robbing Whiting!!
Was by no means a hectic session, but enjoyable to be out.
So roll on next year to do it all over again, can't wait . . .

For me personally the LRFing made up a good few species. And a really enjoyable way of fishing, especially when ya get a half decent sized Ballan. . . Thanks for your comment.

Thanks John. Black Goby was in Downings, and Wrasse was Wicklow pier and Baltimore. Hope that helps.

cheers lads they are two that are proving very hard to get up this way have a location for the small mouth but it's not producing ah well there is all of next year to try.
I had 37 species in my boat this year all within a few miles of launch site in Dublin Bay I missed out on a couple of months fishing with serious health issues and i was also let down with a some i would normally find so im very happy with the way the fishing went in 2013 tight lines lads will see yous on the water in 2014
Hope your health is good now John, sorry to hear. 37 is amazing, would love to see that list! If you are ever stuck for somebody to head out with you could let me know!

Wow 37 is well impressive and all in Dublin Bay Area, and you also had a few nice specimens during the year, fair play. Hope the health is better now. Now I just need to improve on the fish count for next year! Can't wait! Tight lines for next year, I'm sure we'll see you around the Dalkey area.
