People:Me , Pookie , Round our way

Duration: 7 Hours

Tide:Full and ebb

Weather:Very bright and east north east wind

Bait:Frozen lug, rag , squid mack, herring

Rigs:portugal/ spain/croatia

Results: Me 1 dab (6cm)

Catch and Release:: Yes

Report:

Decided to try somewhere new today and headed to the mouth of carlingford and fished cranfield point, the beach is a blue flag beach and looks like it would produce fish but probably needed a bit of surf the wind on the beach was a biting north easterly which made it very uncomfortable so we only fished it for an hour and decided to move round the corner to greencastle for a bit of shelter. we found this place to be very shallow and only fished it for an hour and a half both spots produced nothing not even a bite. With not a cloud in the sky and it being very bright we decide to move to deeper water and went to newcastle harbour to fish until dusk, after a few casting lessons from round our way

I managed a huge cast of about 30 yds

we fished on for about an hour and round our way had to go to the pictures so he headed home me and pookie fished on until last light a few bites later produced the only fish of the day a very small dab seems we only catch fish when Round our way goes home

the crack was good fishing wasn't but all in all nice to get out..I found out why Pookie married a nurse

seems to like hurting himself

It was cracking day with the sun out. pity about the fish.

I had to inform lazy that he wasnt actually casting 120 yards but only 30yards. With a little instruction we can get you up to that magic 50 yards matey.

good luck on sunday sir. If you have a cracking day like this your smiling pal.

Sorry i couldn't make it either. I eventually got out of work at 2.30 and headed down to the rocks for a couple of hours. Tried 2 marks and got 1 2-3lb pollack, so they are still not back inshore in numbers.
