People:Just Me
Duration:6:30pm-8:30pm
Tide:Rising
Weather:Very Windy
Bait:lug and rag
Rigs: 2up
Results:pollock, coalie, rocking, cod, poor cod
Report: Had dug some worm intending to fish Saturday night, but ended up doing taxi service for kids, so headed down Sunday night. It was very windy with the waves were smashing into the north pier. Cast out into the harbour entrance but bit detection was near impossible due to the wind. So just left the bait out for 5 minutes then wound back in. Had fish every cast, they seem to be feeding hard on the bottom in the coloured water. Had several double hook ups of coalies.
All in all a good night, and the wind was not too cold.

Re: Donaghadee 5th September
nice one ronnie. the rough sea would have been churning up loads of natural bait for them to feed on
. apparently that's when you stand the best chance of a decent codling too

Re: Donaghadee 5th September
Yep! Donaghadee should be coming into it's own shortly coming into the Autumn. Will maybe start heading down there for evening sessions, it fishes pretty well upto about Crimbo. I use Santa arriving on the lifeboat as the cut offmark for there!!!

Re: Donaghadee 5th September
As Drew says Lug is king and fishing in the evening is the most productive.
