Lough swilly

#1 Post by weedave »

People: me and corbyeire

Duration:3/4hrs

Tide: flooding

Weather: windy to start but settled down later on

Bait:mackerel and sandeel

Results: 3 thornbacks

Report:

i met up with corbyeire at a local mark in the hope we'd get a few fish while in the area. corbyeire was already there when i arrived and was set up and all. we had a brief chat to say hello etc then it was time to get into a few fish.
the wind was bit heavy but at least it was in a good enough direction for a short while - lucky me had a thornie first cast, it was only about 2lb :lol: :lol: but nice to see. our rods where not very active at all, we had a few bites but no connections for a while.
we did the usaul and swapped stories and info and it was nice to see an angler not too hung up on great fish but being out that was just enough.
i ended up getting another bigger ray of 4 or 5lb - and corbyeire also got small one to brighten up his evening.
there wasnt one doggie which was unusual for that mark so things where slow - all in all nice to help out a visiting angler and a good nights craic - shame about the fishing.
i'd once again forgotten the camera so apologies for that.

Just as well really, cos we both blanked the evening before! :lol:

At least you got him into a fish, I could only get him a follow from a sea trout.

the next day i had 5 hours on leenan for a 14cm flounder, the fishing of all types seemed to be slow
