October started well with some cracking blues landed for Husband and wife Ronny and Karen  Raas from Antwerp in Belgium.
On the 1st October we landed 4 in total,2 fish over the 2m,Karen took the honours with a Specimen of 2.35m( aprox weight 110lbs),the fight lasting for nearly an hour on light tackle .Ronny was close behind with a fish of 2.20m,the other fish were just under the 2m.Garfish,Whiting and Haddock were also landed.
With the weather changing to winter mode we deceided to target the Bass and Ronny using live mackerel landed 2 fish around the 2kg mark.
Later in the week we saw the arrival of a group from Boulogne sur mer, regulars in Courtmacshery for 20 years or more,they tried for shark on the Sunday but only managed one run which broke the line,the weather later in the week was not suitable for sharking so they targeted the Bass from the moorings using live sandeel,in 3 sessions they landed 20 fish the heaviest a fish of 3kgs.
With the weather settling down again after the storms of last week we are hoping that there are still a few sharks about,the signs are good with the mackerel being caught in abundance just off the pier last night why would they leave with all that food about!Tight Lines
