People:Me and the two kids
Duration:9:30pm - 10:30pm
Tide: Just High
Weather: Slight breeze
Bait: Feathers
Rigs:Feathers
Results: 16 Pollock between us.
Report: Decided at about 8:30pm to go down to the Dee for a quick session with the kids to get them out of the house. Got there and setup by 9:30pm and decided to have a little competetion, rules where we would fish for 1 hours, and only allowed to use 1 set of feathers. The results where Peter 8 Pollock, me 5 Pollock and Ryan 3 Pollock, although Ryan lost his feathers after about 25 minutes. The fish ranged in size from about half a pound to one and a half pound and where all caught from the back of the lighthouse.
It was a good we session.

Re: Donaghadee 10th June

Al,
There was just us at the start but then some others "youths" turned up, but did not stay long.

Re: Donaghadee 10th June
i almost forgot about the influx of the summer "youths" down there
some right wee toerags in the summer down there
just have to keep telling yourself to remember they're likely under 18, so sometimes you just gotta bite your lip and say nothing, when a good clip on the ear would be the best remedy

Re: Donaghadee 10th June
If you fish off the back of the peir away from the lighthouse you can avoid them. They don't like loosing feathers in the kelp!
