#1 Post by wishiniwasfishin »

People: Me, Myself and I

Duration: 7am - 11.30am

Tide: High tide 8ish

Weather: Overcast

Bait: Mackerel, lug and sand eel, left over from Glenarm

Rigs: 2 hook flapper, single hook flapper

Results: 2 Dogfish

Report:

Decided to use up the bait that was left from Glenarm Beach on friday night. So woke myself up early and tried to shake the hangover off :| :| !!

Got to Carrick Harbour around 7ish and set up, place was dead, no bites, 9.45 came and the hangover got worse, :( decided to pack up. Started to reel the big rod in, and i thought i was dragging in a bit of weed, I looked over the wall watched the shockleader come up and then a doggie, well pleased as it was my first ever :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I found it strange that the fish didnt fight or even knock the rod, even when i was getting the hook out, the doggie just curled up into a ball, i couldn't even straighten the thing out for a photo, it just locked into this ball.

Anyways hangover was gone so i rebaited and cast out again, and straight away got a big knock and reeled in a fighting dogfish this time, well pleased!!!

Great wee morning! :P

sometimes/most times fishing at carrick harbour a dogfish would be considered a very good result

i had a dogfish curl up in a ball on me this year as well. never ever seen one do that before.
even when i put it back in the water (which was very clear) i could see it sink all the way to the bottom still curled up and sit there for a few minutes before swimming off

it was very strange behaviour

the doggies are hardy wee fish that hardly ever die on you. in fact i do'nt think we've ever had one go belly up and we've caught hundreds of the wee guys :D
