People me and my boys
Duration: from 4:30 till 9pm
Tide: high at 5:30 i think then dropping
Weather: calm and warm
Bait: some leftover lug, crab and mackeral
Rigs:single pulley and 3 hook flapper
Results: a bucket load of doggies, a small flounder and a hermit crab ( my first) lol
Arrived onto arklow south beach and set up rods cast out and just went to cast out second rod and noticed a decent tug but nothing after, cast my second rod in close looking for some flats and decided to check the other rod, it was heavyish yipie the boys were excited, a nice dogfish. the evening continued the same with at least 10 doggies, a small flounder and a hermit crab clingon. i know some people hate these but it was great for the lads and a good way to use up some old lug.

Re: south beach arklow
always good to see the kids catching something man. when your only young those dogs feel a lot heavier on the retrieve and get the excitement levels well up

Re: south beach arklow
Well done getting a few in that tide, it hardly moved all night. I was a bit further south myself and only got 2 doggies and a whiting
was blaming the tides until I saw your report.
