Out and about on Friday the 13th

I got out yesterday for a few hours and arrived at the mark
greeted by blue skys and a slight swell it looked perfect
but to be honest  the fishing was slow i started off using
berkely sandworms the 6'' cut in half i used all colours
of these with a couple of bites and short-takes.
I moved all over the mark fishing gullies and holes looking
for a wrasse. I had fished for about 3hrs with no fish so
i moved to another rocky mark and decided to rig up a
little craw bait i recently got

A couple of casts in and i had my first tap then another and whack fish
on and after a nice little scrap i landed my first wrasse of 2012 a lovely
fish of just over 2lb



i fished on for another while but with no other fish interested so i moved on
and decided to use the lrf gear as i had been fishing quite heavy all morning 
since the ground i was fishing was really tough going. 

I rigged up a power isome on a little 0.5g size12 jighead and fished for about 
half an hour and piked up a few blennys before i decided to call it a day and
head home.






on another note i read that Inland Fisheries Ireland put pay to some illegal
netting that had been going on


by seizing over 1000m of net along with 45 bass.
A massive well doneto everyone involved in this operation and 
I hope that whoever was doing the netting was caught and will be prosecuted 
to the full extent of the law.

Lrf 8th January

I planned on doing some hrf for wrasse today I gave it ago but it was tough water was very coloured and full of dirt and the swell made it almost impossible to keep in touch with my lure so I switched over to lrf and had a few scorpion fish and some blennies before I called it a day







I'll have to wait for my first 2012 wrasse but the weather looks decent for the next week so fingers
crossed
