greystones harbour

#1 Post by andy k 85 »

People: me myself and i

Duration:5-8

Tide:lw up

Weather: calm

Bait: lug

Rigs: 3 hook flappers

Results: whitening rockling coalie pouting sea scorpian




Report:
Decided to head out and use what bait i had left over from sat. The pier was the chosen spot to lazy to walk the beach. It was low water when i arrived. set up two rods with flappers. There was no wind and not much happening tide wise so wasnt expecting much. three other lads had set up beside me all we were getting was whitening after whitening no end to the little feckers.got a couple of pouting which i was surprised to see never caught one from the shore/pier before so its a new one for my species list.the three lads packed up and headed for the beach they had enough of the whitening and were in search of bigger things. Reeled in a whitening and a lump of weed and hiding in the weed was the dreaded sea scorpian, good thing i checked it before just grabbing it and pulling it off could of been nasty. Second last cast i got a triple,whitening rockling and pouting. Wasnt a bad session for three hours was a nice evening to wet a line. shame bout the lights been smashed feckers. By the time i had packed up there was 7 lads fishing of the pier its a busy little spot next they'll be taking bookings to get a place down there. no pics no camera
