Cushendun 29/08/2005

[Lee337]

People:Stuart Langridge, John Scott & Myself

Duration:7pm to 1am ( although Stuart muttered something about being old and slipped away about 11pm )

Tide: High tide @ 7.45pm.

Weather:Clear night with light WSW wind

Bait:Rag, Lug, Sandeels and Mackerel.

Rigs:Mixture of 2 and 3 hook paternosters.

Results:Species caught were Flounder, Plaice, Pollock, Coalfish, Codling, Whiting and Dogfish.


Report:Fish came in steady from first cast but really got going from dusk. The best Codling was caught by Stuart and measured at 35cm, average was around 30cm. Once darkness had fallen, the fish were caught at a range of around 30 to 50 yrds. To be honest we lost count of the number fish caught as they were coming in two at a time on a regular basis.

Anybody still need convincing to give this venue a shot??
