High Water: 16:35
Equipment: 7.5ft Shakespeare Ugly Stik 2 30/50lb
Bait/Rig: 5 hook pollock basher rig with size 3/0 hooks and 9oz lead.
Conditions: Water was flat calm on the way out with a good chop on the way back in.
Result: 1 Coalfish & 1 Codling

We headed out from Rogerstown Estuary and north towards the Skerries Islands. We decided to try a mark behind St. Patricks Island for bait before going to another mark to anchor and try for bigger fish. I caught a codling and my uncle caught a coalfish on the same drop. We motored back around for another drift twice but got nothing so headed to between Colt Island & St. Patricks, no mackerel there either.. We then decided to try outside Skerries harbour at the marker bouy, no joy. We then finally tried Loughshinny harbour with no luck and with the wind & swell picking up we decided to call it a day..
