Catch and Release:: Yes/No the Mack became the bait for the doggie
Report:First time out since the Rugby and Communion season ended. Started out with a cert mackie bashing session south of Kilkee (Mrs M and the boys like me to catch some eating fish and then she doesn't mind me heading off for the day
) after 5 casts I had 10 for the pan and the smoker and so headed home.After the hunter gatherer task was done I dropped the quarry home and headed up north.
I got to Ballyreen and saw there was only 1 other man there......when i got to the rocks I saw there were about six other rods dipping over the edge (The Germans by the pool effect) your man was on the phone and within minutes 15 other s arrived
still, I had my mark and was happy enough.Was Fishing under the ledge with rag on the hook and not much action I kept at it and as the Rag deteriorated the Wrasse started to show - this is only my third time actually catching Wrasse and all the time it has been to dead rag, may this be a fluke, have others noticed this or am I just getting better at chasing these fish? (the other times the bait had been Live rag S.eel and fish and shell fish). I lost tackle in the weeds and so threw out feathers for a while, after a few casts I caught a lone mack chopped him up and put him on the feathers and casted out to the sandbank and left it, this tactic landed a doggie (~4lbs what is the defference between LSD and a small GSD), when the fish bait was gone I got back into the Rock Fish.....finished up with 7, five over 2 pounds and 2 under. spent the last hour spinning jelly worms for pollock but to joy.
....though to be honest it landed like a lump of weed so I guess it was a doggie.......I never caught a Huss but I hear they put up a fight.
