clew bay mark ( 17/04/2010)

#1 Post by seank »

People: Myself and my mate danny

Duration: 5 hours

Tide: 1 hour before low to 3 hours of the flood

Weather
: calm, sunny day

Bait: frozen mackeral, sandeel

Rigs:
clipped down 2 hook flapper 4/0 aberdeen hook

Results:
Me : 5 dogs 1 sea trout, Dan : 2 dogs

Only getting around to making this report now..

Got tho the mark around 1.30 , at low tide. Things were very slow for the first hour and a half, and danny not being a full time obsessed angler like myself was beggining to get impatient. We seen a pair of otters in the distance with the odd sea trout jumping clear of the water.. I reisured danny that ive the best of faith in the mark which ive pulled up to 10 thornbacks in session from. All of a sudden my rod tip started to rattle. I left it about half a minute then stuck into the fish.. I was shocked a the result a fine sea trout on bloody manky old frozen mackeral on a 4/0 hook!!! :D It was my first every sea trout and first fish of the year. I was elated with excitment was never expecting a sea trout to hit a bait intended for ray and huss. It clocked up 1.8lb on the scales :) the fish was quickly returned to the sea. Good few dogfish started to come in after this, and we contineud to fish until half 6 and desided to pack up when the tide was limiting our space on the shore. Was expecting a fe w thornies to show up first time ive fished the mark and not caught one, but another few weeks shold sort that one out. All and all a good days fishing me thinks :)
