Duration:5pm-10-30pm
Tide:low at 7pm approx
Weather:cold biting easterly wind,
Bait:mack and squid
Rigs:2 hook flappers
Results:2 codling, 4 whiting, 1 flounder
Report:Couldnt believe it when i arrived in Bray,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,no snow or ice anywhere
,,and me hardly able to get out from my own road in Clondalkin 
.I set up near the end of the pier with the tide still going out and settled into trying to watch for bites in the breeze, not my favourite occupation
Didnt catch the first fish, a codling 24cms, till about 8-50pm, by which time some other headers, i mean anglers had arrived and set up , so i let out a whoop to celebrate my first tiddler of 2010. Yes i'm not ashamed to say it ,,,,,,,,,,i did celebrate all of his 24cms ,,,,,,and guess what 
,,i even took a photo i was that chuffed. Only problem was that i hadnt got my usual camera with its dummy setting especially for me,,,,,,,,,I couldnt find it and had to bring my "good" one that confuses me to bits 
,too many choices is a bad thing in my book(which unfortunately isnt the 2010 Sea Fishing Handbook 
). Anyways we all started to catch a few fish with the tide rising, next came a couple of decent whiting, followed by a flounder. I was hoping to pick up a 5 bearded rockling at the low tide to add to the species list but it wasnt to be,,,,,at least for me ,,,,,but one of the other lads, whos off this site, showed me how to do it ,getting doubles and trebles 
Ended up with 7 fish which gets me off the mark for 2010,they werent exactly specimens, but there again Ted , its not exactly the 60's or 70's, so we can only catch whats out there.Dave
,your a brave man doing 5 and half hrs
