waterfoot pier

#1 Post by minty »

People: just me

Duration:3-8 pm

Tide:high (spring tide i think

Weather:50-60mph winds but dry

Bait:mack rag and sandeel

Rigs:two hooked clipped

Results:9 coalies 2 crabs




Report:left Belfast in mild rain and arrived at Waterfoot pier to be greeted
with wild winds, battled to set up but got sorted with great difficultly, first two
casts produced 2 fish. Thought it was going to a good night :oops: :oops:.
Rod rest blew over had to chase bait up and down the pier, waves breaking over
the top of the pier. (disaster) Was about to throw the head up when the wind
died a bit, started to land a few again but had to call it a day when the wind
picked up. Not the best weather to be out in but at least fish were caught.
some times catching crabs is a good thing.........or is it...........?
