Wicklow beach, 1-11-09

#1 Post by eyesreilly »

People:me and fishface

Duration:6pm-10pm

Tide:rising

Weather:showers, otherwise nice bright night

Bait:lug, mack, squid

Rigs:3 and 2 hook flappers,

Results:me;9 schoolie bass ,6 doggies,,,,fishface;5 schoolies. 6 doggies, 1 flounder




Report:With parking restricted at my favourite beach mark I drove on and found another spot to park. There was a nice surf running and a strong tide. Rang Fishface and he was down in half an hour. He wasnt impressed with the bait i had with me, which was lug." Lug doesnt work here", he said but he still took half of my bait(lug, mack and squid :shock: :shock: ), and started to bait up. He hadnt noticed that I was unhooking a plump schoolie bass,about 25cms :twisted: :twisted: That small bass had pulled the rod from the stand :shock: .I cast out again and when i brought it in there were 3 schoolies on the 3 hook flapper, happy days."Imagine what i'd have caught if if i'd have been using rag :roll: :roll: :lol: ", i shouted over to him.He remained unimpressed and told me that i'd use up my bait too quickly using 2 rods :evil: . I thought about it and decided to pack one rod away. I had another 2 before he landed one, then i noticed he was craftily using 2 rods himself :roll: :lol: :lol: .I thought i was into a bigger bass when my line went slack, then took off down the beach,but this turned out to be a doggie. I turned around to find Fishface holding one up as well, caught at exactly the same time :shock: :shock: . Funny theres no flatties here i wondered , with fishface adding that they never turn up here. Then he landed a nice flounder ,29cms :shock: :shock: .It started to rain , but not too heavy, then I thought Mitch had arrived with another Petzl Ultra, but it was only the moon coming out of the clouds(I could have sworn i saw an apparition of the Virgin Mary :roll: :roll: but perhaps i'm listening to Joe Duffy too much). Then I got another slackliner, lifted into something decent and had a job hauling it in. It was a doggie double :lol: :lol: .Fishface was hinting all night that he was on his last 2 lug, but i just ignored him, rightly so cos at the last cast he still had 2 lug while i only had one :roll: :roll: . That last cast resulted in another doggie, i had been hoping for the 10th schoolie, but i was well pleased with the evening, getting 9 schoolies and 6 dogs. Fishface got 5 schoolies and 6 doggies but also got a flounder giving him 3 species which i'm sure he'll point out but dont forget they were all caught on my lug,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,which of course doesnt work here :wink: :wink: :lol: :lol:
