millisle- 20/01/09

[dan]

people- me

tide-slack, star of ebb

duration-2.5-3hrs

weather- cold, calm and cloudy, slight drizzle and sleet showers

baits- lug, white rag, mussel, wilk and limpet

rigs- float and 1 up 1 down all size 6 and 4 hooks

results- 19cm rockling, 3 pollack up to 15cm, 17cm coalie and 5 whiting up to 6cm

report-
headed down about about 5.30. it was very quite for the half an hour but then managed the first which was a little pollack on the float, this was on white rag. i then started to get some more fish and i missed a few too which happens everywhere . i missed a better bite 7 oclock possibly a decent codling but i think i had too small of hooks. best baits were white rag and mussel.

heaviest fish was a coalie, good little scrapper on the float gear.

still a good session as usual and another couple of species for 09.

5 whiting to 6cm

now ive heard and endured pin whiting - but if thats the case its the last straw

[dan]

best session with whiting on millisle so far. they around that size, some bigger but still every fish is a fish, pity they werent a bit bigger.

[fishinmidget]

they're minnows mate seirously though, whiting that size aren't very tough so be careful with them!(i.e. try not to catch them )

[dan]

i dont try catching them
although up this area in the past few sessions i have had around millisle and a couple of other marks there have been loads around that size, just dont seem to be able to get away from them, no matter wat hook size even got one oneday on a a size 2/0 well it was a bit bigger.

[carl fox]

my gold fish are bigger

[dan]

same 'ere annoys me when those tiddlers dont leave my bait alone, hard not catch them and catch the others, at the moment it is either catch those tiny whiting or nothing

[carl fox]

try bigger hooks lad and bigger baits lad get more bigger fish in to them as you said you think you missed a big cod over the hook size

[dan]

cheers. tried bigger hooks once got some better whiting but didnt get ny pollack or coalies on them for some reason

[PaddyB]
