Carrick in a hooli





















We braved the elements today rescheduling the club match to a venue which was less dangerous than the proposed mark. Conditions looked promising for Bass at least and with a decent turnout hopes were high that we would pick up a few with the chance of a Smut or two on the cards. The first half of the match worked out well for me in terms of numbers of fish, the second part was well... crap! There were only three Bass caught two of which came to Will right at the start but there were reasonable numbers of fish and each angler had something on the score sheet. For me it was Eel's, Flounders and Doggies- 8 fish and 4th place. I didn't add any decent scoring round fish to my tally but there was also a Cod and a Huss caught and Stu ran out winner on the day with a total of 16 fish including the Huss. Jamie had the Cod and Malky the other Bass ,Will did well with his two good scoring fish and Stevie plugged away on the Flounders.

Species caught today were Bass, Cod, Flounder, Huss, Eel, Rockling, LSD and Dab so most anglers added a few to their list for the year.

The weather was bang on for the last hour but is not forecast to last. I'm heading out on Monday again as I've plenty of crab left over. Monday ain't looking good but I've taken a day off so I will be trying for my first Bass of the year! I will post some pictures from today shortly.
