Iniscrone Pier. Sligo 4-Jan 07

[kieran]

People: Bruce Vaughan and Kieran Hanrahan

Duration: too long (about an hour)

Tide: full, dropping

Weather: awful, force 5-6, bitter

Bait: Mackerel

Rigs: Two hook flapper, float fishing

Results: 2 crabs

Catch and Release:: Yes, but grudgingly



Report: Thought the lead was coming back at me when I tried to cast over the wall into the wind, so decided to fish into the harbour. Awful. Bitterly cold, could not even move about owing to teh crutches. Light on the pier is halfway down, seats all the way, what's the logic there! Bruce has one take but lost it on the way in, I had a crab and got destroyed with floating weed. Big swells, serious rip current.

Gave it up as a bad job after an hour (you know its time to go when the orange spots appear in the middle of your blue hands) and retired to the pub for a dinner! Pier is in good knick with the upper walkway totally resurfaced, railings at the end, ideal for the summer / warmer evenings!
