Leenan Co Donegal
People: just me
Duration:1500-1800
Tide: ebbing
Weather: light wind which increased after an hour, otherwise OK
Bait: sandeel, mackerel and crab
Rigs: float and pulley
Results: just wait
Catch and Release:: of coarse I did
Report:
went out to test new diawa supercast rgm and slosh 30, the rod is a cracker and the reel I need to slow down as after a cast into the wind after it picked up I got a big birds nest. Once I got it sorted i tightened up the line and the rod bent over. I lifted into the fish and started to bring it in, I thought it was a ray as it seemed to use the tide to put pressure on the tackle, it took line and I hoped it was big. Each time I got it to the base of the rocks it would dive and take line, after what seemed like ages I saw a flash of white and then used a large wave to wash onto the rocks. I went to see what I had caught and it was....................
A Bra, how disappointed was I, and to top it off the next cast I had a crack off and a birds nest, so I packed up and went home. The bra was released and was unharmed unlike my hopes which where dashed to pieces

I see you were fishing on your own. I bet you couldn't resist trying it on. Admit it. We won't tell anyone. ;) :D
