Re: Cushendall Tuesday 31 may 2011
just out of interest danny, what sized hooks were you all using man? i tend to find if we keep getting bites we just can't seem to hook into it's best to drop down a couple of sizes. we normally tie all our rigs with size 1's. the smallest we'd go would be a 4. but it can turn a session around on the catch count. added to that you'll still get decent fish in on smaller hooks. we've had 3lb wrasse, 4lb thornies and 3lb bass all on size 4's
good luck man

Al! i use 4/0, for everything mate except congers and thornies i use a size 5/0, i find it stops hooking the smaller fish mate, but them other boys are using 2/0's but somtimes they catch fish which are not much bigger that a ciggerette, which usualy starts murder over the debate "do they count" lol gona head up fahan on sunday, we fished it a few weeks ago got very little, have yous been out much urselfs mate?

hardly out at all man. my father is going through chemotherapy at the moment, so i'm back at the parents place looking after them both. so we have only got out about 4 times in the past month. but fingers crossed he'll be back on the mend and done with the treatment come autumn and we can get back to our normal fishing routine. we'd normally be out 3 times a week instead of 4 times a month
