Waterfoot Pier

#1 Post by round_ourway »

People:Myself, Merv, Liam

Duration: 3 Hours

Tide: low

Weather: Very Windy

Bait: Mackerel, Squid, Rag

Rigs: Single hook Clipped, 2 Hook Booms

Results: Dab (Liam), Coalie (Myself)

Catch and Release:: All Released



Report:

After Merv and Liam losing a lot of gear at the ledges and the wind picking we moved onto waterfoot pier. Liam caught a nice mackerel, Would have made lovely fresh bait. ;)

Got to waterfoot about 1:30 or. Great craic all day. not many fish caught though. Liam caught a nice dab which was returned safely.

After blanking last week, i made it a mission not to have a repeat performance. It was getting late and I still had nothing to report. So I decided to use a float and baited up with a cocktail of everything we had left. (rag, mackerel and squid). While packing the other rod..................the float went under.........I waited it in anticipation..........knock KNOCK............................ lifted the rod. reeled it in and it was a nice coalie.... And I didn't blank... Ye ha.. Great feeling. It was returned safely to safe me once again from blanking :)
