Another fantastic sesh at millisle, loads of FISH- 18/10/09
people- just me
duration- 9.00am til 4.00pm
tide- push, high, drop
weather- calm, cloudy and a bit wet
rigs- flappers, float, pulleys and pennels
baits- lug, white rag, rag, squid and sandeel
results- 16 dogfish, 31pollack, 2 ballan wrasse, 27 corkwing wrasse, 1 goldsinney wrasse, 8 flounders, 9 dabs, 19 codling, loads of whiting and 1 pouting
report- i was planning to get a session at ballywalter today, i phoned john to see if he wanted to go, he was loaded with homework, so he couldnt go, so i decided just to try millisle again, i tried a spot across the park, caught nothing, so i headed to the peir, started catching here very quickly with 2 or three fish a cast i couldnt get 2 rods in the water at once, so i changed to a pennel on one of my rods for dogfish, there were some good quality fish too with:
pollack to 1.5lbs
coalies to 1lb
wrasse to around 1.5lbs
codling to half a pound
dogfish to 2lbs
whiting to about 6oz
flounders to about 25cm
dab to around 30cm
etc
as the tide dropped a bit the fishing at the peir slowed down so i moved to secret fattie mark and got 3 flounders, 4 doggies and a dab.
after 7 hours of fishing i had well over 150 fish and soar arms. all in all a absolute brilliant session, the best session i have had at millisle so far, great vaiety of fish and will get back down sometime very soon
