wicklow pier 22/02/2009
people:Tony fella and myself
Duration:5:30pm till 10:30 pm
Tide:hw about 10:20
Weather:very slight breaze, slightly cloudy
Bait:lug, mack and sandeel
Rigs:3 hook clipped and 2 hook flapper
Results:12 whiting (biggest 21cm to tony) 1 dogfish for me, 2 rockling(one each) and a sea scorpion(tony)
took a while for fish to start biting but as we waited we were treated to a magnificent sunset. first fish was a whiting for tony and we had a steady stream of fish till 15 mins before we left when bites stopped. I was keen to get out and christen my new Century carbon metal crest and was delighted with the way it casts and has suprisingly good bite detection. The best baits were lug and sandeel, which accounted for the doggie.

Re: wicklow pier 22/02/2009
Well done bigsod, you have the knack for catching doggies off that pier, i spent 8 hours trying in vain for one there a few weeks ago, finally getting one on the north beach a week later, first since october.
