Report: Had arranged to meet mick on monday night to thow a line, it seems he did actually mean night and not eveneing, so I was in Fanad early and had 2 hrs to kill before meeting mick so I headed down to the lighthouse rocks with just a spinning rod and a few lures, lovely sunny warm evening for it and even picked up a few fresh mackeral for bait at the pier, as well as a couple pollack and coalfish(no bigger than 3/4lb)so that started my evening nicely.
Arrived on the pier about 10.00 to find a tourist from Dublin fishing with his wee lad who spent his time pulling in double shots of doggies for about an hour before I caught anything. We set up casting out over the back wall which meant we had to climb up onto the pier wall to haul up our catch(note to self: remember to bring a stepladder for granda Mick next time
Mick wanted to stay all night but I had work this morning and the doggies were begining to take over so he agreed to call it a night.
It ended up Me 7 dogfish, 3 thornback ray
Mick 9 dogfish, 3 thornback ray
Dublin guy similar, though it felt like his wee lad was catching as many doggies as the rest of us put together
