#1 Post by stevecrow74 »

People:myself and saltydog

Duration: till 1:40am (ish)

Tide:falling and rising

Weather:started of calm, mild and overcast, ended up clear, cold with stiff breeze

Bait:mack and sandeel

Rigs:heavy trace rigs and light rigs

Results:huss, mackerel and a black goby


Report:headed to this mark as there is deep water in close.. set up with large baits and cast out, then did a bit of spinning to see what was about.. ended up with a mackerel straight off.. got a nice bite on the beachcaster which turned out to be a good sized huss.. salty had to go down and lift it out :lol: , nicely hooked in the lower jaw so no need for T-bar.. a quick photo and weigh (6lbs 2oz), a good start to a promising session.. salty had a float out on his light rod and ended up with picking up a mackerel... more fresh bait.. i changed my light tackle to a 2 hook boom size 4 hook top see what i could pick up below our feet.. a few taps but only ended up with crabs... so ended up casting out and leaving it for a while only to pull out a black goby.. new species or me :D :D cast out again and picked up a mackerel.. then that was that.. crab city from here on in :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: they must now be the fattest crabs on the south Galway shores :? :? :?

What looked promising to begin with a nice Huss first cast turned out to be a bit of a damp squib :? will try the mark again on an early evening tide as we might just hook the big fellas we were after :wink:
