Inishowen 30.12.09

#1 Post by last cast lad »

People:me & mick

Duration:2.00-5.30pm

Tide:high at 4.30

Weather:VERY WINDY, cold, wet

Bait:lug, mackeral, herring, squid

Rigs:pulley, flapper

Results:me I coalfish, mick pb dab




Report:Arranged late last night to dig lug and fish today, met up and got out in rain :cry: :cry: digging some good lug, and headed off to our chosen pier full of optimism. First chuck and mick landed a personal best dab at 32cm :D so looked like all the effort might be worthwhile :) unfortunately that was it for about 2 hours till I had a bite show up through the wind :shock: thinking something exciting was about to come to land it was somewhat dissapointing to pull out a plucky 30cm coalie :shock: But at least it saved a blank another hour passed and I suggested what we were both thinking- the fireside at home would be a very comfortable seat :idea: although for the record mick was willing to stay :!:
..............and you know what, it is very comfortable here by the fireside :D

No all fish were returned,(not that either are us are religeous about catch and release), must keep the next reasonable dab thats landed, though they do tend to be on the slim side
