Fishface; 1 x rockling (very small)
Report:Wasnt going to do a report from Bray Harbour again as i was afraid the Council would start charging me rent but Fishface had such poor results that i decided "what the hell, I might as well"

I brought some juicy earthworms as I had got some while cleaning out a compost bay at work but they were to prove useless

. I had just cast out when a strange figure came down the pier in a Yellow hat and Bright green Jacket

. "Its a bit early for St Patricks Day", i thought to meself,,,,,,,,,,but you often meet strange characters on this pier

,,,,,,,,,it turned out to be Fishface who had forgotten his Imax suit. He reversed his car down the pier and set up so he could sit in the boot out of the cold breeze. I got a small coalie ,followed by a 5 beard rockling who dropped off just as he reached the pier

.I was using lug tipped with mack and i got a succession of fish and was soon at number 7

. Strange thing was that Fishface hadnt a bite

. After an hour or so he started to complain about the cold but i knew that he was getting nervous about the dreaded blank and looking for an excuse to head home

. He went off down the pier to show everyone the Petzl ultra and how good and bright it was , he even lit up the other pier, startling some anglers who were fishing there without lights

. Typical of his knack of pulling something out of the bag, he reeled in a (small) 5 beard rockling , jumped for joy, packed up and went home. He ruined the end of my report where he was to have a BLANK

. I had a chat with some of the guys on the pier and it turned into a sort of SAI mini meet, with myself, The Codfather and Corbiere present. It turned out to be a good night, with us missing the rain which seemed to be falling everywhere else. I had a couple of doubles as we hit the HW mark, getting 16 fish altogether,5 species, including dab,codling,whiting rockling and coalie. Corbiere seemed to be especially impressed with the fightin whitin. My carriage returned at 10-30pm (shes getting very good at reversing down the pier

), and i said goodbye to the lads and headed home. I only took a few pics and forgot to take one of Fishface so i hope this simple drawing of him will suffice,and please, please,,,,,,,,,,,,no backslapping or false praise
