People: myself and donal

Duration: 3pm-7.30pm

Tide: high round 5.20

Weather: cold enough SSE, picked up aswell as day went on

Bait: mack, mussel, sandeel, squid all frozen

Rigs: pulley, running ledger, 2 hook flapper

Results: mack, dog, huss, whiting, pollack

Catch and Release:: Yes



Report: reports of a dry day had me wanting to get out - spring tide coinciding with dusk had me thinking good conditions

surprisingly the best fishing was in brightness

early on had a large mack on the bottom, to mack strip on a pulley

the late afternoon - thought i had a ray from the bite and pull - turned out to be a huss - check out the dodgy picture - I like!





2.5 kilos apparently - looked a lot bigger - fishemans tales eh :lol:

she took, mack wrapped in squid on a pulley

then threw on some mussel tipped with mack - got a dog on a 2 hook flapper

then in darkness had a rattle - no weight on - 2 pin whiting suspects retrieved - 1 on mack the other half a sandeel

stayed on another while - but no more bites - got cold too

crabs were a bit of trouble earlier but eased of with HT - the currents kept swinging the rigs from E-W and into shore and sticking them in the rocks/weed

lost 2 rigs - no bites on the big rod with steel trace and 6/0s....

good enough days fishing - ill let donal fill ye in himself :D

Nice one lads. Must try some mack and squid for a huss, always eluded me (unless I mistook it for a big doggie)

cheers scotsman

the huss you nearly always know by looking at them generally the mouth/head region is very broad in comparison to the rest of the body

but for certain the nasal palps are independent in the Huss - but they are connected to the mouth in the dog

otherwise we'd all be getting specimen dogs :lol:
