smoothie hunt, Tinnaberna, 10th june 07

#1 Post by stevecrow74 »

People:myself, teacher, jd and steve

Duration:7:30pm-12

Tide:ermm... all over..

Weather:clear calm and warm

Bait:crab , lug , rag, mackerel

Rigs:various

Results:smoothies (starry and common), doggies

Catch and Release:: Yes



Report:after having a BBQ we set off to the the mark.. after wondering were we going the right way we found the beach (only a few killometers from kilmuckridge)

the fishing started off with fish comming mostly to jd with starry and common smoothounds approx 1-2lbs.. i got a nice doggie on my second cast after losing my first rig into rocks.. the fishing went quiet for a while then the rod rest started to make a move for the water.. grabbed the rod and held on.. for a moment or two i thought it was a bass..but thankfully it turned out to be a common smoothie.. :D :D :D not only that but a smoothie that weighed 7.4lbs :D .. that made my trip.. fishing became really slack so we decided a time to finish up.. which meant one last cast... as i was about to walk to the rod to reel in there ws a small tap tap.. struck into it and low and behold another smoothie :D :D :D

a perfect day .. exactly what i wanted.. and not only a 7.4lbs smoothie but a specimen at that :D :D

I don't know what's more impressive Steve, the fish or the fact you actually look respectable when you shave :shock:

Nice specimen, well done! :D :lol:
Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!

How far were you fishing distance wise to hit the fish lads?

The smoothies were in quite close. Maybe 60-80 yds.

If someone shows you a mark to fish, respect it and dont pass it of as one of your own, dont tell every man and his dog about it.

Well done Steve.

I don't know what is more impressive. The fact that you got 2 smoothies or the fact that you wore a float jacket in theat weather..... Mental!!!!
