[b]Tide low

[b]Weather dull then sunny/but very cold

[b]Bait mac;/razor/squid

[b]Rigs3 hook flapper 2 up 1 down/1 hook clipped down

[b]Results 4 whiting/3 collies/14 dogies

[b]Report low tide was at 11.04 so started fishing at 9.30, first few casts got a couple of whiting and then one Collie. the son also had one whiting and two collies, but they were all very small. went very quiet for an hour or so.and then it was like a mad charge of dogies, in close or long-range casting it did not matter every cast produced a dogie. all were around 3lb to 6lb, but the son got one about 8lb from a long-range cast on a 1 hook clipped down. got too cold so headed home for the spud's. but was an enjoyable few hours fishing.

.....all dogies were LSD, but the three biggest were GSD. every year at this spot i always get a few around the 14lb mark, bearing in mind that the shore record for the GSD is 19lb i think!!

MC, park up at Greencastle and walk along the shore path, its at the back of the golf club, you can only get on it at low tide
