People:myself
Duration:18:30 to 20:15
Tide:high 21:32 3.9m
Weather:cold east wind and dry
Bait:sandeel,squid,mackerel
Rigs:2 hook flapper
Results:10 dogfish,2 bull huss
Report:with the tides being low today I decided to work on the car instead of fishing but in the evening the brother rang looking for a part for his tractor from clifden so when I was heading in I brought the rods with me and after I got the part I headed to a beach I never fished before
got one rod set up and cast out and before I had the second rod set up I started getting bites,soon after landed a double of dogs then a bull huss,was kept busy during the session between the dogs and another huss
no photos this time as the phone battery died,was sorry because I brought in a bit of weed and found a mermaid purse in it and it would have been nice to try and id it
