Clare 29th

#1 Post by Conger »

:wink: People: Me, Corbyeire and Darragh

Duration: 11am to 4.30pm

Tide: Incoming

Weather: Blustery but well sheltered

Bait: Sandeel, Mack

Rigs: All sorts

Results: me - 2 ray & 9 doggies, Darragh - Dogfish & Corbyeire - Blank





Report: Had arranged to meet Corbyeire at a mark in Clare so headed off early after celebrating a great munster victory yesterday :D :D Arrived at mark and was set up at 11am straight from the get go the bites started. I missed my first bite so rebaited and got out again. Next bite and i managed to land my first ray of the year :D :D as i was landing this lad my other rod took a knock 8) :shock: so took a quick pick of the ray and sent him on his way and struck into the second rod and up pops a decent size doggie, no record breaker but a nice one :wink: after a few minutes got a nice knock on one of the rods, after a good old tussle i landed a new pb for me, a 7lb thornie :D :D just landed another doggie as the lads arrived, as the lads were setting up i managed a double of doggies. Good to meet ye lads, Darragh hooked into a doggie but after a while the fishing seemed to die off and that way it stayed for the next few hours :( After bit of banter and craic the 2 lads decided to try else where i said i would give it another hour to high water as tiredness was starting to kick in :roll: just after the 2 lads left i managed another doggie and called it a day at that :D happy days a new pb for me 8) Corbyeire, hopefully you saved the blank down the road

how very typical - we were laughing about a doggy bash at the start to raise the spirits - and then i didnt even get one!

lovely fish again conger - just goes to show how there is a window for action and then it goes dead

to add insult to injury headed down the road to blank for 2 hours trying to scratch out a few flounder

bloody blanks :evil:
