Castletown,North Wexford 3/4th Aug

#1 Post by Richie07 »

People:Myself and the girlfriend

Duration:21.00 - 14.00

Tide:All states

Weather:Blowing a gale,dull,rain,cold,thought it was November.

Bait:Peeler,Rag,Sandeel,Mackerel

Rigs:2 hook pats,1 up and down.

Results:1 flounder,1 small pup smoothie and his big brother at 8lb.

Catch and Release:: Yes/No yes



Report:Got down there last night but was unfishable due to the high wind,the waves were 10/15 ft high and the wind was unreal,so we didn't actually start until 5 am this morning.Conditions had slightly improved by then so we headed for the rocks.Was hoping for some bass as there was a good surf going but nothing showed.Bites were far and few between and just when I was drifting off into a dream about a bass showing in the surf I got hit by an almighty bite ,I struck and the line peeled off the reel and the smoothie headed out to sea,great fight,best I've had in ages off a fish and made up in some way for the long session with few bites.
