Paternoster
Results:
Dogfish, Whiting, Pouting
Report:
Turned up around 8 and talked to a couple at the harbour for a bit, they siad there had been a few fish caught in the previous few nights. Would have been cramped o fish there so headed round the rocks. Was a huge swell so found a nice part to fish from but only had 1 decent bite, possibly a dogfish but it let go as I was bringing it in.
Headed round to the harbour which was now empty, Rab got fed up and headed home after catching nothing so gave us a chance to fish properly. Sandeels got a whiting almost every cast, very small though, and the squid got dogfish every cast with the occasionally chubby pouting.
Was the first time I had gone to portmuck at night and was pleasantly surprised. All,
Heading out again next Sunday and while I appreciate that people don't wanna give their Bass marks away, would appreciate
a rough enough indicator where might be good. I blanked on Ennereilly South beach last weekend so might not go that far next time. Anyones fished the Breaches, in Kilcoole?
Also which more important for Bass - getting the tide right or the fishing closer to dusk/darkness?
cheers again for any tips,advice,etc
Steve Heading to Silverstrand to try for a few flounder this evening, will be there from 7.30/8 if anyone fancies a cast...
