People: Bingham and Drew
Duration: 8am - Midday
Tide: Over Low
Weather: Showery, Gusty wind
Bait: Crab, Rag, Mackeral
Rigs: Loops and Flappers
Results:
Bingham - A load of Flounders, 2 Eels
Drew - 5 Eels.
Report:
Following in the "anywhere but Donaghadee" mentality, it was off to another new venue to see what we could winkle out.
Casting short seemed to be the order of the day, and Bingham was soon pulling out a steady stream of flounders from his side of the Groyne, I however couldn't get a touch from the flat fellas and spent my morning contending with slimey little eels making a mess of my lovely rigs.
Crabs seemed to be an issue at certain stages of the tide, and treble shots of crab were witnessed on a few occasions.
Definitely a venue I'll be returning to, comfortable fishing too...
Pics added tomorrow.
