boat 12-4-10

headed out this morning for first light with declan and paul out of dunmore.the weather was not as good as i thought it would be with a wind againest tide chop and even tho sunny was quite cool.
fishing in general was good we started out off a reef off slade getting loads of poor cod ,ballan and cuckoo wrasse,pollock,pout fish were of very small size,drift was s**t never seen it so bad covered if even 100 yards in 45 mins. moved to a deeper water spot and drift was still slow but started getting a few codling and ling small all under the pound loads more cuckoos and a few big pout and an octopus.as wind was picking and ffish size small decided to move in shore in hope of a plaice or a few dabs,tide was to strong we anchored up and uptided for last two hours before we headed in at 12.fishing was very good with tons of whiten a few codling a dab and a flounder .declan has a few pics will post later.

Nice one barry, strange wind this morning, not forecast as usual, and pm it was like a mill pond,
Seems to plenty of small stuff around, with the odd big lurker being caught, had a trip[ off the saltees, on friday and had some decent fishing with some nice codling and pollock, and the usual wrasses, but nothing to special. prehaps the macks have all gone now as they were here during the winter!!

think so they prob wont turn up again till oct ,even tho heard there was a few caught off the rocks the weekend.could of been a few around was not fishing fo them but if they were there you would expect to pick up the odd one.good sign even in the east wind there is plenty of fish.
