Killiney, Co. Dublin 06/12/08

#1 Post by Senor Feeshy »

People: Me

Duration: 5-7:30 pm

Tide: Yes

Weather:Calm and feckin freezin

Bait: Lug and Mussel

Rigs: 2 hook flappers 1/0-2

Results: Coalie and Rockling




Report:

Arrived to see a moxy of other anglers all along the shore. Obviously a comp. Was glad that my favourite stretch was free.
Setup and had a few decent knocks but no hook ups. Rebaited and took the hounds for a quick walk down the beach. No sooner than I returned the rod started hoppin' and after a good little scrap in comes me biggest shore caught coalie ever at 43cm. Unfortunately he didnt make it back despite my best efforts so he'll have to make do with a brief spell in the pan :D

It wasn't til I went to rebait that i noticed a small rockling on the bottom snood which thankfully made it back.

That was it for the rest of the session. The cold got such a grip on me that I toyed with the idea of abandoning all me gear rather than pack-up with ice block hands

You should try out these handwarmers they're activated by air and stay warm for 10hrs you can get them in the ski shop in Dublin and a few of the outdoor shops carry them. They're called "HOTHANDS-2" manufactured by HeatMax very useful for long periods outdoors in icey conditions :)
