Westport 6&7/2/10

[Cormdogg]

There's never too much to write about with a blank but I guess it lets everyone know how marks are fishing.

Saturday Morning
Lecanvey Pier
11am-2pm
Tide about 3 quarters in and going out (if that makes sense)
Frozen Lug, sand eel, squid, mussel
2 rods one out to Claire Island and one across the beach.
Absolutely glorious day, crystal clear water, was in my t-shirt, zero weed, flattest Ive even seen the water there. (Im blaming the sun for the blank)
After being told by Noel Doggie3131 specifically not the fish this mark I went ahead and did it anyways (Im from Dublin you know) but I didnt want to stray to far as there was a mach needed watching.
Never used mussel fresh before, it was smelly and messy but the crabs went mental for it, so a good sign that its an aromatic bait.

Sunday Morning (The Day after the night before!)
Runagh Pier and Old Head
11am-3pm
I dont want to talk about the beginning of the day, failed hunt for mack and dodgy breakfast rolls
Same baits and tactics at Runagh. Tried lobbing sand eel across the harbour in amongst the rocks to lure something out but only last tackle. Gave up here and went to Old Head with the flattie rigs but no joy. The weather was not so nice, Huge sets rolling in at Runagh, dead flat at Old Head. Still bright enough. NM* Noel told me not to bother here either!!!!!

Anyways lesson learned! Listen to the locals!

still suprised that you did not get the odd stray doggie at lecanvey well you know where to go now,NOT lecanvey or old head

Looks like a beautiful spot to fish

I blame the lack of Mack! Had a span new rod out from shore thing I got last visit, my bests casts to date I think. Ill be back as the Govenor of California says.

unlucky man. we can't seem to catch a single fish during daylight hours at the moment either . but as soon as the sun goes down the seem to come on the feed.

tried roonagh quay onetime during the summer just with the float and mack strip while waiting for the ferry - there was tiddler pollack there

good to have a report even with the blank - nice pics and lets us know whats happening there at least

have had very little success at lecanvey in daylight, the odd stray doggie and some minis down the side of the wall, after dark it is doggie bash central - never seen so many doggies anywhere else, have had strap conger and small pollack and whiting but not much else.

similar story with old head harbour - tho have heard talk of a bit more variety from there apparently the odd raymond gets caught :-O

plenty of mullet about the lagoon at murrisk in the summer too

Nice pictures, even if there's no fish in them
Must check it out in the summer for the mullet, I've been told before it's good for them in that area.
