Wicklow Harbour

#1 Post by chenz116 »

People: Me & JacktheLad

Duration:6pm -10pm

Tide:high at 10.20

Weather:Nice

Bait:Rag, Mack,Crab, Feathers

Rigs:2 Hook Flapper,

Results:Me 3 Mack, JacktheLad 1 Codling




Report: We decided to try of the cliff edge were the rocks are just beside the harbour hoping for some Pollock but after about 45 mins we spotted two seals swimming around and decided to move down to the harbour. About two hours passed and not even a bite except for the crabs stripping our hooks. Then about 9pm JacktheLads rod took a nice bang we had hoped it was something bigger but it only turned out to be small cod. Shortly after his rod took another big bend then another then another but then stopped. He was reeling it in and felt a real weight on the line and just as it was coming to the surface got of the hook and his rig came flying out of the water. We never got a look at it but were sure it wasnt weed because of the way it came off the hook


I was getting desperate so i threw my feathers on to try for the mack and with my first cast BANG 3 at once. Tried with the feathers for another half a hour but no more.

Still pleased with my results and they will be going on the pan when i get home tonight as i was to late getting home last night.
