GREYSTONES 29th aug 08

#1 Post by eyesreilly »

People:me and big mick

Duration:8pm -10.30pm

Tide:rising

Weather:dd mild humid

Bait:mack,lug
dd
Rigs:dexter wedge, 2 hook flappers

Results:me, 2 mackeral,1 lsd, 6 whiting
big mick, 1 lsd




Report:Went digging lug at Sandymount and as big mick was out at Greystones and i had the rods in the car i decided to join him. He was set up at the rocks near the harbour and had been there an hour or two when i arrived. All was quiet he said with no bites so far. He had mack fillets from Dunnes and i had lug and a mack caught on Sunday night and put in the freezer. I cast out a two hook flapper baited with lug, tipped with mack, and while watching the rod tip i tried a few casts with a lure. This was taken by a mack almost immediately to Big Micks surprise :shock: .

Good sport on the light rod. I got another mack on the two hook flapper as i reeled it in, 2 nil to Dave,,,,the pressure was on Big Mick. For once his luck let him down as i caught fish after fish. Next came a double of a doggie and a whiting,,4 -nil,,,then he got a rattle which turned out to be a doggie for him. I finally proved to him that the whole mack was better than the fillets :lol: :lol: Up to now he usually outfished me with Tescos best mack fillets against my whole mackeral and lug and rag dug myself :shock: :? . Another double and three single whiting and i was ready to call it a day,,,,,,digging lug is tiring work :lol:

Final score was 9-1 to me 8) 8) 8) ,,,,,,,and he decided to go before i got my tenth :lol: :lol: .I've had a string of good sessions now so i only hope it holds out for another while :shock: :shock:

Well done on the nine fish.

Digging lug is a killer alright - it wouldn't be too bad if you got a big juicy one under each worm cast but half the time there is nothing there. But i guess it is good exercise :lol: :lol:
Cod season Winter 2013/14: 117 cod (best fish: 6.5 lbs)
