#1 Post by Al »

People:Myself & M.b3

Duration:7 hrs

Tide:All states

Weather:Perfect, warm overcast with flat calm sea.

Bait:Rag,Crab,Squid,lug and smelly Razor :x

Rigs:3 hook flappers & sheppy rig

Results:Flounder, Coalies,whiting,very small codling & Wrasse

Catch and Release:: Yes



Report:Headed out to Greystones Monday morning on the spur of the moment to try and get a few early Plaice, Conditions looked perfect the sea was flat calm the weather was very settled, warm and overcast which made Mark very excited :) Although no Plaice where caught it was still an enjoyable days fishing with 5 different species, although they were not huge fish it was enjoyable none the less and plus it wasn't a blank :) I'm sure mark will add a few more details later.
some pics below too :)
