Donegal mark

#1 Post by fishermannum1 »

People me

Duration app; 4 hours

Tide dropping

Weather wet bit windy

Bait mac/squid/lug

Rigs two hook flapper

Results 14 flounder/1 conger




Report went down for a few hours to a good mark i know for flounder, have always had great success at this spot so was looking forward to the trip. started off very slow with an odd wee bite every now and then, so as the tide dropped down a bit more i got the fork out of the car and dug a few lug, it made all the difference 8) the rod went mad, all good solid takes, then i noticed the rod getting a few small taps then it slowly just bent clean over, lifted into it as i knew it was no flounder. felt a good weight and was giving a good scrap, got it in to the side and was amazed to see it was a conger of 7lb :shock: :shock: i'v fished this spot since i was a nipper and have never ever got a conger from it, so it was a shock to me, after a few more flounder i jacked it in and headed home for the spuds, very pleased with myself 8)

no pic's again for my camera was getting destroyed with sand and stuff, so have stopped taking it out with me, but will dig out my old camera and take that with me from now on...
