10 species Donegal rocks 13.06.10

#1 Post by last cast lad »

People:me and mick

Duration:4.00-10.00pm

Tide:high at 8.30

Weather:mild and calm

Bait:lug, mackeral, squid, bluey

Rigs:flapper, pulley, flowing trace

Results:me:2 Conger, 3 red gurnard, 2 dab, flounder, plaice,coalfish
mick: 7 coalfish, pollack, 3 dogfish ,2 thornback ray, tub gurnard




Report:Made plans on sat to fish on sunday and after a quick look in the feezer realised I had no fish bait left :( so headed to a local pier with the feathers to "gather bait" and came home with a bagfull of fresh mackeral :) . After digging lug we arrived and were on the rocks by 4 and the tide was just begining to push in. I was first in with a conger in the bright sunshine after a battle of wills it was landed and weighed in at 12.5lb :D mick then picked up the pace with a few doubles, one was a beautiful tub and the smallest ray seen recently, he did later better this with another nicely marked thornie of over 3lb. I had another run and lost a conger so put out another trace and about an hour later landed one at 8.5lb with what was left of my last trace and the bluey heads still lodged in its throat :shock: :shock: , thankfully we managed to remove both that hook and gthe one which landed him and he even spat out a coalfish of about 20cm, and I must confess that as I saw this being spat out covered in slime I first thought it was a pouting and was quite confidently claiming another species :oops:
I tried my best but couldn't manage a thornie, even had a pulley rig with 3.0 and 1.0 hookks pennel rigged on it, this was lifted and the rachet ran a few times but I couldn't manage to connect, eventually the came a slow but definate bite, this was allowed to develop before I stuck in and again seemed to miss :evil: , only to land the smallest and perfectly formed red gurnard hooked on the 1.0 :shock:
