short session gunwell 26/04/11

#1 Post by grady »

was out in (gunwell) donegal last night to see what going on, had one bottom rod baited with mackerel and spinning, arrived around 7pm, start with spinning rod and on second cast managed 3lb pollack and after few casts another 1 pounder then lost my spiner.
well pollack is there, but what about wrasse? I tight just single hook on the and of the line and bait with (solted) lug managed three hand size little wrasses and then "ring ring" and bosses number on phones display :shock: had to go back to work at same night :evil: :evil: so packed up at 8.30 such a dissapointment could't finish my session, but still got nice pollack for breakfest, so roll on for next session with the phone left at home behind me :D
