Benone & Waterfoot pieer

#1 Post by crazyfish1983 »

People- Me and mate

Time- 10.00 am to 8.00 pm

Location's- benone and waterfoot pier

Bait- Rag, Mack, and squid

Results- Blankety Balnk

Set off this morning to get bait and head up to meat Fishermannum1 (thanks for the offer) at Fahan but after a call he advised we would only get a few hours fishing in due to our late start due to bait shop mis hap's on my end ( :? ). Headed to benone instead as we heard it was fishing its socks off. Only fished this mark a few times and had a few nice sea trout and flatties so had high hope. After 4 hours of not a bite on our four rods we set sail for waterfoot beach. On seeing only two people on the pier we poped down and fished it instead of the beach. Again not a bite between 4 rods. after more hours of no bites Two very grumpy and hungry boys set sail for home. All in all a terrible days fishing- but sure beat the hell outta working :) :)
