a fine day and so couldnt pass up the chance. firstly headed to a mark and chucked out a mackerel bait at distance, left it there and started spinning. it was a beautiful sunny and calm day and the water was gin clear, there were actually plenty of herring fry in the area flipping out of the water and so my hopes were up that something would be chasing them from below. a little disappointed maybe in that all i could manage were plenty of tiny pollack and a handful of coley, not too bad but was hoping for something a bit more decent - like a decent pollack or even a sea trout. ah well, cant win 'em all. a of couple of sea trout did show themselves but despite covering them i couldnt manage to get one.
decided to move location and headed to a different mark around the bay. was getting bites every cast but wasnt catchin so put on a very small hook and was soon catchin plenty of dab. none just big enough for the pan but had a great time anyway. also had a rod over the edge in the hope for a conger but to no success. there were 3 guys setting up at limerick point (about 6pm) not long before i decided to pack up.. wonder how they got on..?
an enjoyable little day all-in-all
oh, and tried out the new shrimp pot for the first time.. it was only in the water maybe an hour and a half to be honest so was glad to see that one shrimp had made his way in anyway
so it works! 
- will be looking forward to using it a lot more often to get bait, and maybe even a snack to take back home if i get enough decent ones
