Wexford beach, 27/07/2013
Duration: 8pm- 3 am
Tide: rising and half the drop
Weather: Probably too calm, a touch of Southerly wind
Bait: Peeler, Lug, Ragworm, Mackerel
Rigs:Pulleys and 2 hook flappers
Results: Small Tope, plenty of flounder to 30 cm, Thornback Ray, Weaver, Dogfish, Starry Smoothound, Common Smoothound, tub Gurnard, Dabs.
Report: WE started fishing at 8 pm, and the first casts were bringing flounders which were mostly in the 25-30 cm bracket. As the tide rose D2 got a Weaver and we hand a couple of smut pups.
Liitte else was stirring until the tide started to drop. then the Bro had a nice wee thornie followed by a Pup Tope 40 cms or so. He then landed a nice Hound in the 5/5 lb bracket, In between all this I landed a couple of dabs to 25 cms and a Tub Gurnard.
Cracking nights fishing, and good to get out with the brothers for a session.

It was a good nights fishing, and on poor tides too; unless you were after Flounders
