Rigs:everything

Results:dogs,coalies,whiting,flounder,turbot,pollack,sea scorpions and tompot blennys




Report:Havent been able to get out much lately with these exams coming up but i managed a few sessions.Not a huge amount to report really, things have been pretty quiet just glad to get out!

12/4/11-Galway rock mark.
Fished for 4 hours with mack/sandeel/lug baits.Nice evening to be out, ended with 11 Dogfish and 2 coalfish.

18/4/11-Another Galway rock mark.
Fished for 3 hours into darkness, ended with 9 dogfish and 4 decent whiting.

24/4/11-Galway bay sac open shore.
Beautiful day, fished from 3pm-7pm.
Nothing too hectic, fished with 4 flounder and 3 turbot.

28/4/11-Galway mark
Short 2 hour session but nice fun, beautiful day again.
Finished with 2 pollack,2 sea scorpions and 2 tompot blennies.

1/4/11-Another Galway mark
Still trying to figure this spot out, fished it a few times last year but that was later on in the summer. Great potential, winds destroyed it today, NE winds are useless! :twisted: Things started to go wrong from the start, got to the mark an realised i left my reel at home, went back to the house, picked up the reel and left again. Got tp the mark at 10pm and was fishing by 10.20. Very slow with all baits coming back untouched. Tide started to push in fast and the wind was picking up, rod started to get blown over. I had a trace full of maddies waiting for my last cast, the wind blew it around it it was all tangles by the time i got to it, 20 mins of untangling later it was ready, getting fustrated i took my last cast. 10 mins later i got a small knock..ended up with a double shot of flounder, made my day, suck a relief to see a fish flapping through the surf :D :D packed up after this so i ended up with 2 Flounder.

I have loads of pictures, there all on my phone and i cant find the usb cable!
