#1 Post by fagan »

People:me my bro and my uncle

Duration: all day into early morning

Tide: both

Weather: great

Bait: bluey ragworm,mackerel,sandeel

Rigs: feathers,pulley rig and float

Results: 4 coallies, 5, pollock, 8 dogfish, 2 plaice, 3 dabs




b4 i start, what a weekend, the weather was great except a short while on saterday there was abit of a north wind but it didnt bother us. we were camping so that made it even better, we had plenty of beer and the craic was 90 so we fired out r lines, well you can see from the results, the coallies were bout 1lb-2lb and the biggest pollock was 2 and a half pound. we didnt weigh the rest tho 1 dogfish the dabs and the plaice were caught during the day and then when the sun went down it was doggies the rest of the night.


all and all great weekends fishing, the sunset was leathal, and i was well pleased with catching the plaice cause i havent seen r caught 1 in years.

till the next time tight lines

here r a few pics

not bad at all, the mark has been getting a hammering over the past few months, although it is throughing up some decent fish.
most of the fishing is done at fairly close range there, leading you to think that you will pick fish up at range, but there is more to be caught inside the first 100yards than beyond!
Not the BigPhil from Irish Angler mag, I'm the original, i swear!!!!
