Couple of hours in Donaghadee, Co. Down, 28/05/11

#1 Post by Drew »

People: Me and Shep

Duration: 7.30pm - 9.30pm

Tide: Erm, High

Weather: Blustery with 1 brief shower

Bait: Lug, Mack, Sandeel and Squid

Rigs: Flappers, DDPS

Results:
Me: 1 Coalfish, 2 Pollack, 2 Sea Scorpions

Report:

Not much to report really, headed down cos Shep and I weren't doing much else.
Bites were sparse but managed to pick up a few fish about 5 yards out.
Fish seemed to be turning their nose up at the Lug and hitting Mackeral baits harder.
Shep fished with a DDP loaded with Sandeel, Mack and Squid in hope of a Doggy which never appeared.
Better than sitting in the house.
2015 Lure: Pollack, Herring, Whiting, Sand Goby, Poor Cod, Pouting

you have to pray really hard Drew :) as it's not looking too good for Wednesday, 01 June 2011: http://www.accuweather.com/en-gb/gb/lar ... ails5.aspx
But as you said already, better than sitting in the house!
