Gear

Met some friends from college in Bray for a quick session off the harbour, they were new to fishing so I was kinda teaching them about how to cast and all that. I brought 2 bait rods to use with peeler crab and a shorter rod for feathering in the off chance the odd mackerel might be about. An hour into the session we got a shore rockling and just packing up we got a decent smooth hound of 90cm and my friends couldn't believe it! They thought we'd catch absolutely nothing down there! Also saw plenty of mullet swimming about inside the harbour.
