Arklow south beach then pier
Bait, rag, Mac, squid
Tide, incoming then dropping
Results, 1 small hound, a heap of flatties and dogs
After a couple of quiet local sessions I said I’d bring the nephews fishing in Arklow seeing it normally throws up a few fish, went to collect them but they decided they’d rather chase youngwans up and down the road so I headed off on my lonesome,
I parked the car down the far car park so I could keep an eye on it while fishing, unloading the gear I dropped my bag on ground forgetting my flask was in it, smashed in the bag,no tea for me, not a good start.
Anyways on to the fishing, slow start with only couple of dabs after 2 hours, then as I was about to head up to the pier I caught a small hound, that had me thinking to hang on there for bit, which I did for another hour or 2 then the Feckin rats appeared outta the boulders and were trying to rob my bait, they were brazen, just sitting there waiting for me to to turn my back, i flung a stone at one, I missed and the stone bounced off a boulder and flew up into the car park and missed my windscreen by inches
and with that I decided to head for the pier.On the pier the tide was on the way out and it seems to fairly rip through there but first cast was a decent dab, then a doggie on my other rod and thats the way it continued for an hour or two, decided to put 1 rod away cos it was nearly a fish every cast.Anyways, not a bad little session in the end apart from the rats and other anglers leaving the pier covered in rubbish unfortunately.
