West Galway Mark 16 nov 09

#1 Post by stevecrow74 »

People:myself and gara (housemate/bandmate)

Duration:3-8pm

Tide:high @ 4:40ish pm

Weather:striong wind decreasing through the session

Bait:mack squid sandeel

Rigs:2 hook boom (gara) , three hook flapper (me)

Results:coalfish, poor cod, pollock, dogfish, shore rockling, pouting, codling:




Report:
woke up and went down for breakfast to be asked "so are we going fishin?".. a quick check of the weather (head out the front door) ah sure.. might as well..

headed out to the mark and set up and it wasnt long before coalfish were hitting the baits, and they were hitting hard the whole time, as the light faded poor cod started to make an appearence, various combinations were used and when i put on mack tipped with sandeel i got a large bang.. woohooo.. doggie.. havent seen one of those in a while.. a few small codling made an appearence too.. then i got one big bang... didnt know if it was just my eyes playing tricks on me until it hit again.. reeling in this felt like a good fish, a nice codling.. good enough for the pan too :wink: ... quick cast out again.. then gara managed to get him self a new species with a pouting.. i think by this stage he was getting sick of catching coalfish the whole time.. then i saw my rod twitch again, this time on a sandeel tipped with squid combo.. now this was a fish that didnt want to be brought in.. such a great little fight on the match rod too, couldnt see what it was the whole time untill i lifted it out of the water.. yeayyyyy.. a very nice pollock.. just around the 4lbs mark too.. was so excited in seeing this i didnt notice the poor cod that was attached to the bottom hook.. :shock: unitl i baited up :shock: :shock:
the wind had changed direction and where we were, we were even more sheltered, but the sky began to clear and the temperature began to drop, gara managed to get stuck into weed and it took a while to get free, but when lifter out the rig there was one hook less, but on the other hook there was a nice surprise of a shore rockling dangling in front of him... a few more poor cod, coalies and codling later wee decided to head back home, but not before stoppiing of at the charcoal grill for a chicken doner and curry chips... :D :D

i think gara is well and truely hooked.. (and at one stage he was.. i think he wanted to use his finger as bait :shock: )
