Report:Planned an early session Sunday morning. According to wind guru it was to be a windfree morning but that wasnt the case when I got there It was blowing a westerly maybe 15 knots at first and a chop but manageable. Only had the lines in the water when a wrasse came biting.

Happy with that I headed further into the Bay against the Wind planning for an easy drift back to the launch point. I then tied off to a lobster pot over some clean ground which produced a doggie.

Things went fairly quiet for awhile so I headed for some deeper water but the drift was too fast and I left the anchor in the car so back to a different lobster pot and the Wrasse were biting hard. Great crack it was. Nearly every drop produced a Wrasse. Only problem was I was running out of rag and nothing was touching the sand eel or squid. Deciding to move mark once again I headed for the rough ground near Dun Laoghaire which produced a Cuckoo Wrasse


Gota say that made my day a lovely looking species and a very first for me.Mean while the other rod took a fierce knock but as i was reeling in the line went slack


A personal best for me
