A Wicklow Harbour 22-12-11

#1 Post by eyesreilly »

People:me

Duration:7pm-10-30pm

Tide:rising,, high at 9-30pm approx

Weather:really mild, breezy and damp

Bait:lug, mack, squid and crab

Rigs:2 hook flappers

Results:5x pollock, 1 x coalie, 1 x rockling and 1 x pouting




Report:Headed out last minute after the Missus got me 20 lug :shock: ,,,,,,,,must have been the payback for all the Christmas shopping trips i've been dragged out on recently :roll: . I headed to Greystones Harbour to find only one other angler there. He was lure fishing, small ragworm-like jellyworms, and getting great sport out of it. I couldnt believe how light his rod was :shock: ,I promised myself i'd go light with one rod the next time. I set up and got a couple of pollock, small enough with the biggest around 35cms,all going for mack and squid and ignoring the lug/squid mix. Some other lads arrived and set up and soon the little fishing area was full up, it doesnt accommodate many anglers :roll: . The fish were few and far between but you cant complain on such a mild December night. Met Tony(tofish) off the site and had a bit of a chat. The fishing died off when it passed high tide and I packed up. Happy Christmas to all the fisherfolks out there, and especially those i've had the pleasure of fishing with and learning from. Nollaig Shona Daoibh go leir!,
