Holly jo, Reen pier, 11,2,12

#1 Post by jw »

People: donal domeney, bait all, jw, john warner, john downey plus 4 other lads

Duration: 0800-1900

Tide: strong spring tide

Weather: bit of a southerly breeze

Bait: frozen macs and squid

Rigs: shads, muppets and pirks

Results: we had half a dozen nice ling (between 10 and 15 pound), a conger, a few pollack and coalies all of modest size,
pouting, whiting

Report: We booked this trip with Colin Barnes http://www.whalewatchwithcolinbarnes.com/, and i would highly
recommend him if you plan to fish the area as he has great knowledge of the area and never gives up trying to
find fish for his customers, on this day we had average fishing for the time of year, no new records or specimens
but a few decent fish.
