Bring on global warming, Macks, herring and scad !!!!! today in dunmore
Well, arrived nice and early on a foggy and cold morning at dunmore east, launched the boat to a nice swell running in from the s/w west, but little wind.
visibility was about 500 meters so we cautiously set of for the 3 mile rock, east of hook head.
As we got further offshore the vis improved a little, but it was still cold and damp, and now with a nice f3 northerly to keep us warm.
Started with general drifts around the rough ground in the hope of picking up some codling, got most everything else except codling, with a few nice ballens coming onboard and a smattering of other stuff, like ling and pouting.
Moved off the reef and we picked up a few small codling. Decided to head out to a wreck, where we might pick up some decent pollock, but as with many fishing trips, we never got there for a while.
En-route, i noticed a rather large paint came up on the fish finder !!!! Hmmm, thats not a wreck, too big, on with the sabikis, and up comes a full house of lovely herring !
Seirt and eddie soon joined in with full houses and we followed the shoal for a while, and to our amazment, up comes joey mackerel, and then larger mackerel in twos and threes!!!! IN JANUARY
At this point eddie made a stupid comment on the boat, " i suppose jam jar rayner will pick up a scad, ha ha , " A picture paints a thousand words !!!! :doh: :doh: , yes on the next drop up comes a lovely little scad, IN JANUARY with the water temp at 7.2 deg C
So all those global warming theorys, bring them on, prehaps, tuna next !!
A great day, considering the bond chilling fog, we did get to the wreck, and pulled a few fish of it, but nothing large, headed home, and tried for the cod again, but no luck , so a good day.
