Hillaries Report
Was at hillaries last night. saw a guy using a roosta popper but it got busted off by something. dont know what it was but it wouldve been a keeper!. I started off using a river2sea 25gm searock that i picked up from bcf for $2 and then soon changed to a 14gm river2sea searock (again for $2). ended up downsizing the trebles and had a few hits, one average hookup but no fish. We moved to just in front off the lighthouse facing north. after a while the tailor picked up. caught a baby tailor and then a bigger one spat the hook on me. i soon picked up another and dad got a double hookup of baby tailor on his alvey. the guys next to us got into the same baby tailor and one of the guys pulled up a crayfish tangled in his line. i had a goooood hookup to an average tailor but it spat the hook. just as we were about to pack up, the same guy who caught the cray pulled up a occy that looked about a kilo. overall it was a good night with just enough wind.

i was down there on friday
i was down there on friday night with the small rod, just flicking it around for whiting etc.
nothing but blowies, and then a small dolphin arrived. that pretty much signalled the end of my night.
i was fishing relatively close to the beach (the drain side.) is fishing any better as you get towards the restaurant end? is there a little reef up there that would have housed the cray or was it pure luck?

was also down at hillarys on
was also down at hillarys on saturday evening
was abut halfway down the north wall casting a 7gm searock around (which i also got from the 2$ bcf sale). hooked a few herring but only managed to land one due to spat hooks.
does anyone know what sort of retrieve works best and how long should i let it sink for after casting?
cheers

Sounds good Irish
Sounds like you had a fun night.
Wicksey, I think there is a bit of a reef between the lighthouse and the disabled fishing platform.
All the best Colin Hay
