Smoothound Starry and common,Doggies,Small huss,Dabs and a whitingReport:Wow where to start this one lol.
The initial plan was to hit Ennereilly but after a reply to a pm i sent we decided to abort and head to another location.
Unusually for me i was quite tardy getting set up and i had only just got a bait in the water when Kev grabbed the first of the nights many Dogs.
I got a couple of little knocks and in came this little pup on my first cast.
The little chap had barely taken a sniff out of my crab bait so i gave it a little squish and sent it back out so i would have time to rip the rag off my spare and put on more Crab.
No sooner had i baited up when my rod took an almighty slam.Grabbed it struck and fish on.Boy was this an angry fish,Surging diving and running i knew this was not a doggie and i was treated to the sight of this magnificent hound.
Lots of pups followed and Kev started landing fish after fish non stop.I stuck it out with crab and got plenty of pups but avoided the dogs (Which were becoming a nuisance)
Baby treble shot
Release to catch in years to come
Another Double
Walking the dog
So after a fabulous nights fishing it came the time to pack up.After a tough start to the year with missed chances and terrible luck ,its nice to feel that all the hard work can pay off.
And isnt this a nice sight to end a trip!
