#1 Post by nobuzz »

People: Daniel & Myself

Duration: 6:00 - 8:00

Tide: High

Weather: Hot & sunny

Bait: Frozen lug, squid & mussel

Rigs: Float, spin & 2 hook flapper

Results: Nil


Report: We're going to stay away from D'dee for a few weeks, its getting a bit depressing. Hopefully the wrasse will turn up soon.

One guy had 4 coalies on feathers.

We had planned to stay longer but some kids decided that the only place in the harbour worth swimming in was directly in front of us!

Funny thing is that at Easter there were plenty of Wrasse there.

Daniel even had a couple of decent sized ones.

Seems to be poor fishing all round that area Nobuzz. I've fished Orlock and a Bangor rock mark recently and both were fishing awful. But it could all change so quickly. It is strange that the wrasse were in numbers at easter and now nothing though.

Bad luck on the blank.

The Dee is fishing very bad during daylight hours, but things are better once it starts to get dark

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago, despite there being signs warning of the dangers of swimming in the harbour.Looks like the ASBO man may be needed again lol
