Bait:Mackeral ans squid
Rigs:Me one up one down, Chris running ledger
Results:Me bout 10 dogs + 5 huss to 11lb, Chris 8 dogs and 3 huss to 10lb. Numerous mackeral
Report: Decided to try for Huss and Ray in an inshore bay in west connemara. Anchored up and put out a small dubby bag. Straight away into dogs which we did not want. We tried to avoid them by using lip hooked mackeral heads and just concentrate on Ray and Huss. The Ray did not turn up to play. We lost a few Huss as well as landing some beauts that fought well in the strong tide. Interestingly the dogs dissapeared when the Huss moved in. I had a small hook on the 'one up one down trace' just to see if there was anything else around. Had a nice bite develop and wound down to what felt like a cracking Huss with plenty of head nodding. Turned out to have 2 huss on at once
. One was 5lb and the other 11lb. My first double huss. We could have had a lot more dogs but as I said we tried to avoid them.Caz
Had the same experience the dogs
