Report:Arrived on the beach and had lines in the water for what was usually prime time just before dead low water but we were both plagued by weed as there still seemed to b a bit of a rip in the current. Some VERY black clouds were moving all around us with torrential rain falling in buncrana but we stayed dry
but catching nothing but weed until about 10ish when we pulled in a few crabs which to be honest we did contomplate counting 
Mick then had a few little twitches on his rod and pulled in a thornback just over 7lb
Things were still very quiet on my rod and I was begining to feel the pressure and thankfully I soon had a 5.5lb thornie however when mick came over to inspect it he discovered I had desperate tactics employed, a tip light attached behind the hook as an added visual attracter.
Now I reckon that it's really no different to using flouescent beads but mick has demanded that I allow you guys decide is it within the acceptable practices, is it sporting, is it simply being inventive or as mick suggested was I cheating
This was followed by a dogfish and another thornback at 7lbbefore it all died down as the tide began to push up the channel again bringing all the weed with it
, so all in all a wothwhile trip
the old glow lite on the rig works a treat. we do it all the time when things are tough going and it deffo helps the catch count. you would be suprised just how inquisitive the wee fishies can be
