Rossaweal 23.08.08

#1 Post by tomi »

People:myself and Adam

Duration:9.30am- 13.00pm

Tide: HW 10.06am

Weather: could be worse... bit windy and misty

Bait: prawns, squid, mack

Rigs:2-3 hook flappers and paternoster, float, conger traces

Results: endless amount of gobby, around 50(!) coalies up to 25cm, few small pollack, 18 mackerel, star fish, almost seal :wink:




Report:
We was thinking to fish in Spiddal first, but after short discuse we decide move up to Rossaweal, as fishing there will be much easier for me, becouse I have leg in plaster cast (lucky, one more week only :lol: ), so my mobility is not on high level now. In the fishing port I can fish "from the van".
Nearly every single cast produce a bite:!: No matter what I hade on hooks- day when fish likes everything! After first hour of fun with small fish, conger rods were set up, baited with fresh bloody mack fillet. It didn't took long and Adam's rod was nearly pulled in to the water :shock: Line was escaped from the reel realy fast- much faster than line taken out by any conger :x We didn't hooked any seal, but we hade five similar "bites" in short time. Two, or three seals were swiming arround, so we give up with congers, as seals takes our fillets all the time, and there was no point to possibly hurt the animals.
Anyway session was better than we could expected, with plenty of fish caught, and leg still in one piece :wink: :lol:
