People:me
Duration:7pm-10.30pm
Tide:low
Weather:, fine, breezy, dying off later
Bait:lug, mack
Rigs:2 hook flappers
Results:1 plaice, 1 flounder, 3 whiting, 2 doggies
Report: Arrived in greystones loaded with plenty of lug(dug meself :) ) and mack (dunnes stores :roll: ). The rock mark looked promising with only 2 anglers there so I says to myself" there'll be plenty of room". When I went down to talk to the 2 lads I could see there was somebody else down where I was heading,,,,,, reading a book :shock: :shock: . 32 counties in Ireland, benches all around, and he picks the best fishing mark in the place to take up with his book :shock: :shock: . I set up beside him ( HE NEVER LOOKED UP FROM HIS BOOK :shock: :shock: ), and a few well aimed blood spurts from the lug saw him off . "So sorry about that", :twisted: :twisted: . First cast produced a plaice, and the bites were coming all evening.Flounder next, nice one of 30 cms, followed by a dog. Got talking to the two guys from earlier, who were just starting out fishing, and i hope i helped them out a bit . Got another dog and 3 small whiting, all on lug tipped with mack. Lost two dogs while trying to get lower down the rocks to haul them up :cry: :cry: . The wind died down and it was a beautiful place to be on a Sat night, I could have stayed there all night, but i had no light with me :cry: .
