screeming reels cork 17th may 2008

#1 Post by screeming reels »

Boat:screeming reels

Crew:myself

Date:17th may

Location:cork harbour

Duration:12 hours

Tide:ebb, flood, ebb

Weather:v nice , but overcast

Bait:ragworm, crab

Rigs:improvised single size 16 hook, and 1oz lead !

Results:goldsinney wrasse, rock goby, tompot blenny, pollock, golden grey mullet,ballen wrasse, mackerel, launce, coalfish, codling, poor cod, oh and a corkwing wrasse that i mis-identified and threw back without a picture


Report:set out nice and early, after barry got the goldsinney it gave me the goal to go on a mini species hunt in cork harbour, as you can see from the results it was a succesful day.
Had to really downsize the tackle, ended up with a 1oz lead with a small 3 inch snood above it and a single size 16 hook, baited with rag, it did the trick, and it also pulled up some ballens to 2lbs!!
I spent most of the time in east ferry, and amazingly i had 6 species in just the one spot near the marina.
I did venture to a few other places and picked up a few goldens gey mullett, and some cod and ballens of the harbour rock.
Was a lovely day out , and i learnt a lot today,( especially how to identify a corkwing!!!!)

Wrasse

Based on the dimensions of the 6210 Nokia, I'd say the wrasse is under size :D

Nice one Martyn. Nice looking corkwing. I'll have to look up the species ID book myself.
