Report:ARRIVED IN WICKLOW HARBOUR TO FIND THAT SHAMOO WAS ALSO THERE PASSING ON HIS FISHING KNOWLEDGE TO HIS NEPHEWS
. THEY WERE ALL BUSY CATCHING, WRASSE, POLLOCK, FLATS AND WHITING SO I SET UP AND SOON HAD A TINY CODLING ON THE SPINNING ROD CLOSE IN ON LUG AND MACK. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY A COUPLE OF CORKWING WRASSE AND SOME POLLOCK. I HAD A GOOD TAKE FROM MAYBE A CONGER OR A LARGER WRASSE WHO WENT INTO HIS HIDEY HOLE BUT ANYWAYS I COULDNT GET IT OUT, WHATEVER IT WAS , AND HAD TO PULL FOR A BREAK. I TRIED OUT MY MUSSEL, WHICH I HAD PUT ON A BAIT NEEDLE WITH WHIPPING ELASTIC AND FROZEN AND IT WORKED FOR ME.I HADNT MUCH BUT IT PRODUCED EACH TIME I USED IT, CATCHING POLLOCK ,WHITING AND SCORPION FISH. 1 CAUGHT 3 CODLING, ALL ON LUG MACK COMBOS. ALL FISH WERE LIP HOOKED EXCEPT FOR THE CODLING FOR WHICH I WAS GLAD THAT I HAD BOUGHT A LONG NOSED PLIERS.ALL WERE RELEASED,,, I'M GLAD TO REPORT THAT THEY ALL WENT BACK OK EVEN THE WHITING. IT WAS A DECENT SESSION BUT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE WERE QUITE A FEW GROUPS COMING AND GOING WITH TINNIES WHEN DARKNESS FELL I DONT THINK I WOULD STAY INTO DARKNESS ON MY OWN AGAIN. GOT A BIT OF MESSING FROM SOME TEENAGERS WHO WERE OK IN THE END, AND EVEN OFFERED ME SOME BEER 
, BUT WHO WANTS THAT MESSING 
. HEADED OFF AT 9-30PM TO GO HOME AND HAVE A FEW TINNIES MYSELF .
