Portrane Hidden Beach (Behind Holiday Park) 07.04.2021

#1 Post by Gonzo »

When: 07/04/2021
Where: Portrane Hidden Beach (Behind Holiday Park)
Who: Myself
Duration: 19:00-22:00
High Water: 22:00
Equipment: 13ft bass rod with 3 hook flapper with B940 size 4 hooks, and 15ft surf rod same rig.
My Bait: Freshly dug rag on one rod, freshly peeled peeler crab on the other!
Conditions: Overcast, bit of drizzle, mostly calm waters.
Result: 1 rockling, 1 whiting

Dug some fresh rag and collected some fresh peelers this afternoon to try a spot in Portrane that has been recommended to me for bass on many occasions. It's the small beach behind the holiday park in Portrane! Only when I got there I remembered there's a pack of seals that live here :lol: and they like to put on a show, so I thought there was no chance of a fish this evening, but on the last cast I reeled in some sort of rockling, if anyone can ID the exact type please let me know, and I had a whiting on the other rod so I was happy out I got some points for the species hunt I'm taking part in this year :D
