Fav mark, Limerick, 01-sep-2013

People: Me

Duration: 10:20 until 14:20

Tide: LW flodding

Weather:Westerly breeze. Cloudy

Bait: Sand eel and Squid wraps

Rigs: Pulleys

Results: 1 thornback ray and 10 dogs

Report: On arrival I opened my cool bag to pick out the first bait to defrost and noticed my frozen mackerel was missing. After searching my car and ringing home there was still no sign. Never mind a smell will arise from somewhere over the next few weeks and I'm down to refrozen mackerel that I don't trust in my freezer anyway.

By the time I was ready to cast out the wind started up and was causing a small bit of a wave that made me worry about the chances of catching ray if it were to picked. Never fear this mark always produces and my first cast went slack line. I could barely move what was on and after a back breaking tug of war I landed this ray from 30 yards out.



On my second rod I had a double shot of dogs. After that, I had dogs through the session but as it went on I had to cast further out to get them and were ripping the bait off the hooks without getting hooked up with two fish coming in tail hooked. Half way through the session I had another though fight with a ray that went to ground on the way in. Though I did get it to move again it locked up and was eventually lost.
