Portaferry Pier. Weds 3/6/09

#1 Post by Fentster »

People:Me

Duration:9.30am-2pm

Tide:high 10.30am

Weather:Sunny, light breeze

Bait:Frozen eels, mussel

Rigs:Float, 2 hook flapper, spinners, lead heads, lures, feathers and the kitchen sink...

Results:Big fat zilch




Report:Having blanked here 3 times in the last month :cry: or so I thought the hot weather may have made a difference....wrong! For someone who is only learning again later in life it is very depressing :? . Literally tried everything in the bag for reasonable amounts of time at all depths. At least I know it's not just me as 2 blokes were packing up after 2 hours on the rising tide with nothing to show either! What is going on here, as I thought this was a reasonable mark for coalies etc and the odd mack? All help gratefully received! :lol:

Cheers Dan, glad it's not just me! As for the smaller hooks, the bait wasn't even being tugged at so a meat hook wouldn't have mattered!
