Bray harbour 11-03-11

#1 Post by Sweetwrasse »

People:Myself and Shane

Duration:17.15-21.45

Tide:LW at 20.55

Weather:Mild and calm

Bait:Lug, black lug and mackeral

Rigs:flappers

Results:5b-rockling, pollock, codling, scorpion fish and whiting.




Report: After a few recent blanks I decided to hit Bray harbour with my mate Shane for a session and get the mojo back :wink: Fished two rods each, one lobbed out to about 50 metres and the other light rod in close. First drop just down the side of the wall produced a scorpion fish and a tiny pollock, blank saved I could relax now! We were both pulling out rockling every other cast for most of the session if the crabs didn't beat them to the bait. A small codling showed up once the tide turned and a few whiting. Busy enough session and just good to be catching a few fish :D
It ain't easy but it sure is simple!
