Report:

Headed down to my local mark on the Ards Peninsula though rather late missing the rising tide but could not be avoided.

It didnt take very long until i was into a reasonable coaly caught on the top hook with 3/0's to keep the smaller fish at bay

It was slow going with another decent codling comming an hour later.

Ive been down at the mark a few times recently and no doggies which for some is a blessing but find it rather wierd seeing there would be usually a few being caught maybe I am getting down to the mark a bit late or there is something else up.

Has anyone else seen a decrease in the amount of LSD's being caught?

The amount of doggies seems to have decreased around here too.. there dont seem to be any around! well done on getting a few fish!

[bertyboy2008]

they seem to decrease as water temperatures drop its the same for me every year yet you still get a few in winter they will arrive back in numbers as the weather picks up

Its not hard to see why if you take a walk along the quay in wicklow harbour, boxes and boxes of them for bait in pots

Depends on where you cast it was a bit of both really, either clean ground or few yards left or right snagged

The only time ive been catching dogs seemed to have been august last year when I was in cork, one of my regular spots would have thrown up a dog or two regularly maybe it has been the cold snap has pushed them to deeper water, but I will be keeping an eye on them for a while as the water temp starts to increase.
