    Report

    Dad had a meeting in letterkenny today so dad dropped me off to a pier mark fishing wss slow at the start first fish to show was a 3lb ray followed by a double of dabs on the scratching rod .

    Fishing quietned down and if dad was there probably would have headed home no fish caughy between 12:30 and 3:30
    At 5 had anotherr ray and a few dabs fisging a as slow to be honest until around 6:30 just when we were about t op l a ave had a double of ray on the scratching rod and another on the pulley rod tried another cast and got another ray :) happy days there was plenty one other person fishing but hadnt caught anything while I wss there :) all fish were returned alive also ssome of the ray had mermaids pursds hanging half out so made sure yo get them back quickly.

    Not hectic fishing but an enjoyable way to spend the day .... il be back again :)
