Dún Laoghaire and Killiney 14/15-1-11

#1 Post by youonlythevinegar123 »

People: Me and friend Rob

Duration: Killiney 14:00-19:00 Dún Laoghaire 16:00- 18:30

Tide: HW @ 19:30

Weather: Storm

Bait: fresh lug, frozen lug, razor, sandeel, mussels, squid, mackerel.

Rigs: pulley, pennels

Results: Coalie, CODLING and shore rockling

Had my first ever proper winter fishing session ever in Dublin this weekend. Had been planning to get out recently but weather got the better of me. Bought the bait and headed for east pier. We hadn't prepared in terms of rigs and sufficient torches but that didn't stop us. Straight away i got a big bang and was hit by a coalie. It made a good account of itself diving for the kelp and when I finally got it in was surprised at its size, perhaps 2lbs. Not a bad start considering last winter all I caught were pin whiting :D The lack of preparation began to tell as we started to lose gear. This is a mark I'll definitely be fishing soon as it has undoubted potential. I felt with the right rigs, etc that we could've had numerous large coalfish, lots of average whiting, and also codling as the water is deep at the mark in question.
Today I decided on Killiney beach fishing into the underwater reefs. Hopes were high for codling as the water was on its way in, it was getting dark, and there was also a nice swell. Not long after setting up Rob was into a shore rockling. It went quiet enough, but having said that bite detection was very tough as there was a big wind. Eventually my codling came, and at perhaps a pound and a half I was delighted! I got another smaller codling maybe an hour later that was about 25cms. It was great craic and i caught my first half decent codling! There was a competition to our right and one man we were talking to had three shore rockling. Another had a decent codling.

Yep Borough SAC was to the right of you. Fishing was terrible. We fished from 16.00-20.00. I gave up at 18.30 as there way too much weed and I was losing a trace every cast. The comp was won with 1 45cm codling. 3 other rockling were landed. Conditions rapidly deteriorated. One member was knocked down by a big wave and had to go home as he was soaking. Only 2 members stayed until 20.00.

I think that I will stuck to fishing W Waterford and E Cork from now on........big bass, cod and coalies!!!!!!
