Duration: Few hours
Tide: Rising and an hour down
Weather: Overcast and a little blowy
Bait: Rag, squid, mack and sandeel
Rigs: Pully and standard paternosters
Results: Nowt
Report: Decided on a short session at poolbeg, considering a few good fish have been caught there recently. Decided to try for the odd bass or smuts with the larger whole squid baits for the bass and rag tipped with squid for smuts (the peeler picking session on tuesday was a washout, next time I leave the kids at home
). First cast saw a good thump of a bite on the rag, but missed it, this was again repeated again on the second and third cast, then nothing. No more bites, except the odd nibble from crabs, and the squid remained untouched. I am sure the first few bites were smuts, but I cant be 100%. Shame, a fish would have made a nice morning out even better. Still, it was nice to escape for a few hours, and get some peace and quiet away from the bloody kids
