I got in from school on the Wednesday night to find out that I would be fishing in Wicklow the next day. We left home at 5 am and headed North, to arrive at 8.30 am to meet Kit Dunne who was taking us out on his boat Wicklow Charters. It was cold but sunny and myself, Dad and our friend Evan along with some others set out for the day. When we got out of the bay the boat started swaying with the swell. We were hoping for Spur dogs, but the swell prevented us from reaching the mark, Kit made the decision to wait it out in hope that it would settle down, so we staying fishing for a while catching dog fish. Sure enough, he was right and in the afternoon it became calm and we were able to move. As soon as we got there we dropped a line and within seconds Evan was in with the first specimen Spur dog of the year. The fish was measured, weighed and released.
We continued to catch Spur dogs for the next hour and it was fast and furious with everyone on the boat catching at least one. There were 9 out of 12 fish caught were specimens. I didn't manage to get a specimen but thoroughly enjoyed catching what I did.
Kit is a great skipper and really tried his best to give us all a great day out, he went well over time while waiting for the weather to calm down and get us what we went out for.
Im hoping to go out with Kit again and would recommend anyone wanting a great day out to go out with him. Check out his facebook page
