poolbeg 5/2/12

#1 Post by roger de dodger »

People: 6 poor soles

Duration:5.30 till 945

Tide:full around 10

Weather:mild and misty

Bait:lug mac whiting crab

Rigs:lots

Results:whiting and i nice little codling 30 cm




Report:six mad nutters walked the walk down to the end at the lighthouse with buckets of lug ,we had gone down for the excerise and to feed the whiting as they are very small and skinny ,someone decided to catch a codling just as we where confident the whiting had been well fed ,so if you fancy a very long walk and some healthy fat whiting you know where to go!bring some fresh lug as they love it :mrgreen:
oh i forgot to mention poor kev lost his pet crab after a rigorous training program to train it to retreave whiting without using lug worm it fell victim to the heavey traffic down on the location kev was crushed! :mrgreen:
