went out early kds up at 06:00 to fish with (uncle) snatcher
he arrived prompt at 07:00 to ferry us as i'm still not allowed to drive as yet Drs what do they know...........
planned a go for flatties at a mark given by Saint......
WEED ++++++ no bites 09:30 enough of that time for some pollacking off the rocks to the right of the ardwell mark
As usual snatcher into first fish on a snatcher lure
boy those things work a treat result Pollack of 1 1/2 lb
thump bigger fish for snatcher this time approx 5 lb but spat the hook feet from rocks
littletack4 and misstack4 both float fishing lug tipped with mackeral for some reluctant wrasse
Note to dad (tack4): THE CASTING COACHING IS PAYING OFF!
no real bites but screamsof enthusiasim every time the floats bopped in the current
finally got rigged up and fishing.........
went further down the mark leaving the kids to try it alone for a bit.
result... Caitlin hooks into a Coallie at just under 2lb
Snatcher meantime still pulling the pollack in
what about littletack4 & tack4 ...... no joy but time for a change of tactic
result little tack4 snagged on rocks below
hand kyle my rod to keep reeling in and atempt to unsnag his lure
"DAD, DAD"... turn to see a smile splitting his wee face "IT'S A POLLACK"
misstack4 heads over with scales 1 1/2 lb
the fish caught and photographed prior to release
then tack4 decide to have a dip in a rock pool whilst attempting to dislodge misstack4's dropped plug
slipped on a wet rock and ended up with a very sore bum and hip thankfully nothing serious but some rotters were almost wetting themselves......
seeing as i was all ready soaked i retrived the captured fish from another deep rock pool for the kids to return
all in all a good morning kids all caught and happy, snatcher had at least seven on the snatcher lure to 2 1/2 lb plus the one that got away
and i suppose the ache will stop eventually
packed up headed home for a warm shower
