We endured 5 weeks of poor weather and were hoarbour bound but on the the sea calmed on the 20th.
Aboard were a group of french fishermen from Brittany. After the bad weeks the fishing was poor to start then the wind came up again so we steamed into the entrance Ventry Bay for shelter. Here we marked fish close on the bottom and started fishing with cod feathers & rubber squids. Mackarel at first, then we came upon good Pollack.
We retraced our drift againand we came upon the same mark with more good Pollack. As the wind rose we moved to the East a mile or so and came across a small mark here we found on the squid lures fine Codling.
As the day wore on the wind calmed so out into Dingle Bay again but the fishing was scarce with a few good Mackarel to finish our trip.
