Wexford Harbour

#1 Post by Bimmer »

People: Myself and 2 Buds

Duration:4 Hours

Tide:Dropping

Weather: Wind Howling

Bait: Lug, Mack, Razors

Rigs: Flappers, Pulleys, Clip Downs

Results: Blank :cry:




Report: Given my impending Nuptails' on Friday 10th Jan :shock: I was dispatched to the lovely Wexford to collect the Wedding Rings. ( Not one to miss a chance to drop a line, I 'packed the rods :) Done the biz with the jeweller, then off to give the harbour a go. Big weather warnings that day, but since the big blow was coming from the South West, I thought 'grand, offshore breeze means no big rollers that were being experienced by Galway, Cork etc. Sure enough, on arrival as tide was hitting the high mark, not a roller in sight. Great thinks me... got that bit right. :P Hmm that were the good news ends :cry: Impossible to hold bottom in the fast deep channel. Tide was whippin' it. I even let a single pulley carry out along the channel... way out, to no avail ( ended up losin that rig 5 feet from Harbour wall :x ) Tried flappers in the swirling eddy's , no joy. Not a single bite between us. Lots of passers by, trying hard to stand up very bemused by the fact there were 3 lads kitted up' and trying hard' lol. One if commented 'jaysus lads, if you were a fish, would you be out here today? ' Anyway, craic was good, and I couldn't miss the last chance to wet a line for a few weeks !.....I wonder if I New York have any good marks' lol. Be back hittin the beachs in Feb. :wink:

wouldn't feel too bad Bimmer, it can be hard to catch there at times even in perfect conditions nowdays...
There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking like an idiot
