bray head 30-1-10

#1 Post by roger de dodger »

People:me ,eric and gordy

Duration:6.30 till 10.30

Tide:loooooow and rising

Weather:ok

Bait:lug squid crab mack and mussel

Rigs:pullys and conger

Results: :oops: :oops: :oops: one nice rockling and nearly one nice lobster :roll:




Report:with fishing from the beaches a bit slow and poor we hatched a plan to fish a rock mark off bray head for cod and conger 8) hoping that the big tides and deep water with big boulders and kelp beds would see us hauling a few decent fish out of the murky depths,after a nice hike and some rockhopping we set up and waited in anticipation ,and waited and waited and waited :lol: :lol: another fine mess we got ouselves into :!: gordy got a nice rockling halfway through the session and at 10.30 we decided we had been defeated and hauled our gear,my rod had a nice bend in it as i lifted the rod and after a minute a fine lobster surfaced with my bait 8) in the last two meters before the rockface the backwash from a wave wolloped him and off he swam :cry: :cry: :cry:
well all i can say is my first blank of 2010 and another mark off my winter "to try list" :mrgreen:

unlucky with the lobster man :evil: . but you're not the only one blanking, me and dawsey inadvertantly wondered onto the back of an army firing range trying new spots during the week :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: nothing makes you move like the crack of live gunfire zipping over your head :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: should have realized they were blasting the parachute flares up to see who the 2 nutters were fishing off the back of their range :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: (note to self), don't try to find new marks to fish in the dark beside MOD land :oops: :oops: :oops:

Fair play to you Roger for going out and giving it a ago.
Don't worry about blanking, it happens to us all at some time (too often as far as I am is concerned but that's just me! lol:).
I've fished that area before while on holiday a few years ago down in both Bray & Greystones where we stayed and it is known for throwing up some decent fish from time to time.
Such a shame you lost the lobster but at least you seen it before it got off.
