bray harbour 29-5-11

#1 Post by roger de dodger »

People: me and sod

Duration:8.30 till 10

Tide:full at 10.30

Weather:none

Bait:refrozen peeler

Rigs:pully

Results:one whiting one dab




Report: headed out to clear the cobwebs and do a bit of practice casting ,got my personal coach down to keep an eye on me and give me a few tips 8) kept to the pendulum and have to say a few tips helped me get some extra yards 8) 175 yards was my personal best cast of the night 8) un official as sod cant swimm that far (was using multi coloured line)
set up two rods with little nibbles on both so stuck on a flapper with size 6 hooks and confimed my suspitions that the pin whiting where savaging my baits :evil: the arival of a pod of dolphins was a welcome distraction as they headed over towards shankil we where given an acrobatic display fit for sea world 8) they where leaping clear out of the water just for fun we recon sod pointed out like humans they do one other thing just for fun you can guess what that is :shock:
no pics because i was huuuu "CASTING"
