Donaghadee 12/11/08

#1 Post by Drew »

People: Me

Date : 12/11/08

Venue: Donaghadee

Duration: 6.pm - 8pm

Tide: Push

Weather: Cold, Nice

Bait: Black Lug, Sandeel, Mack

Rigs: 2up 1Down, Plenty of Bling

Results: 1 Codling, 5 Coalies, 12 Pollack, and some Pouting

Report: Decided to give the Dee a bash, it never changes does it? :lol:
Started off fishing about half way over, First fish was a small Pouting, Followed by a Bigger pouting and a coaly.
Pouting decended on the baits like a plague of Locusts and it was hard for anything else to find them, but did get another couple of species....

Good to see the Codling, it was only about 8oz but at least it was a Codling! Had a nice Coalfish at 42cm on the Foo Fighter, it went like stink, loved it.

All in all, just what I expected from the Dee at this time of year... :D
2015 Lure: Pollack, Herring, Whiting, Sand Goby, Poor Cod, Pouting

Good to hear your getting out fishing again Drew! Been a while since I've heard one of your reports. Donaghadee Pier really fishes well at this stage of the year, gonna have to get myself down in the next couple of weeks. Also a bit off topic, but I've heard the lights are fully operational at Ballyhalbert Pier again which can be another great night venue. Well done mate.
