Report:
I wanted to go fishing but due to the weather forecast I didn't want to go too far from home.
I couldn't bare Ennereilly again and therefore I decided to try a new spot and I went to Arklow harbour.
I arrived at the harbor at around 20.00, I stepped out the car and I realized that there was a strong freezing wind.
It took me 10 min to decide if I was going to fish or not, it was too cold and windy!
Decision made, just stay for 1 hr and reassess the situation @ around 21.30.
While I was fishing I saw a couple of cars passing by, they just turned back at the end of the pier.
Maybe some youngsters that they wanted to have some fun. I probably spoiled their night
After 20 min or so the Garda arrived, I presume that they were just doing a routine check.
I had a chat with them, they asked me what I was hoping to catch a part from the cold
I can't believe the amount of cars that passed by in the following hour.
At around 21.15 I saw a bite (the first and only one of the night). It was "John" - The lonely whiting.
I casted another couple of times but no more bites.
After 30 min it started raining and I decided to pack my stuff and go home.
