Ballynahowan Co. Galway 22/05/08

People: Just me

Duration: 3hrs

Tide: rising near full

Weather: some rain than nice

Bait: rag

Rigs: flappers and rotten bottoms

Results: Around 7 Ballan wrasse and 1 pollack.




Report: Was in Galway for the day and had some rag left over from a previous session. Was trying for some flats but there was none showing reeling back in I got the pollack. Moved to another spot for the wrasse not a very deep mark you can see the wrasse take the bait. Was getting hits pretty much as soon as the weight hit the bottom. Was broken off once by a good fish. The place is heaving with wrasse dropped in the same spot the whole time and kept getting fish.
