G's mark, Co limerick, 21st of may 2012 #fishirl
People: Me
Duration: 6:20pm until 9:50pm
Tide: 19:07 4.7m 01:05 0.8m
Weather: Westerly wind and pleasant conditions#
Bait: Mack, Eel, squid, black wrap
Rigs: one rod with 3 hook scratching flappers size 4 hooks fluoro etc
one rod at distance with an up and over eel wrapped in squid
Results:
1 ray and 3 dabs
Report:
As usual here I fished close in for dabs and small fish while I waited for ray at distance. I sometimes can have 20 or 30 dabs here which is great fun as they bite hard for small fish and fish to eating size can be caught here. They have a preference for wrap tipped with mack but tonight it was a quiet with a few missed bites and only a whiting and a flounder caught close in.
Around 9pm I had a slack line bite and it produced the ray below. This was followed shortly after to a fish with a bigger struggle that locked up and was lost on a snag. After that a another bite at distance that produced a dog. Disappointing in some ways as this is a double figure fish mark but a pleasant enough evening.

8 ray and dog mainly to mackerel squid wraps but some to sand eel squid wrap.
Report:
The ray came in on the first cast and it was tough to keep a baited trace in the water with 6 rays and couple of lost fish on snags close in early on.The fish were caught at distance and mid range mainly to pulleys with mack/squid. After low water the flood was quiet. I still managed 2 more ray and my first dog from this mark after a few years fishing here. It was also only the second dog I've seen caught here. In past years I had very poor fishing here on the ebb but this time all the fish came on the ebb. I have no working scale but took a pictures of some of the ray.
