Mostyn report

Hi All
2 of us fished from 9.30 till 1 pm There were plenty of Dabs I took 6 for the pot lots were returned heaps of small whiting alas no codling
30/40 fish between 2 of us .I nice pleasant session, another man turned up and was into whiting at the start of the flood.
Sunshine a small breeze (no rain) made a nice change.
Smelly old lug and squid were used on 2 hook pauper rigs

bust there mate well done on the fish

excellent session!

Go on educate me, what is a "pauper rig" ?

I googled it and found this,
it doesn't sound quite right...least I hope not!

"2) Drop a Pauper somewhere on the playfield. A pauper is like a Gauloop, and it has a much stronger smell, but it doesn't feed them nearly as well. What it does do is after a few seconds, it explodes, killing all Grags in the area. If positioned properly, this can be used to wipe out a huge population of Grags. The drawback is that Grags love to eat dead Grags, and a few living Grags will find the carnage a great feasting area and may quickly multiple their ranks back up.

3) Use your Net to capture Brinie. When Brinie is completely on the net, simply press the capture button and you win the game. The net also has the effect of killing any Grags on it at the time it is pressed. This fact can be used in combination with 1) and 2) to really wipe out the Grags. It is a great and difficult (and not necessary) accomplishment to completely wipe out the Grags, but it is possible and quite a fun challenge.

Now you are limited to 9 Gauloops, 6 Paupers and 3 Net captures, so use them wisely. Also, you can only have up to 3 gauloops and 1 pauper on the playfield at one time, so that is a consideration as well.

A pauper rig is a rig I use only using mono (no swivels or beads or crimps) with hooks Works just the same with very little expense or waste

Great session Mick!

Cracking session Mick.

We had the same when we visited this mark.

Well done again.

Well done mate sounds like you add a busy session

Thanks for the explanation!
The name makes sense to me now and it's exactly what ( as a then coarse angler on holiday) I used to do for a rig off Whitby Pier 40 years ago, before life and rigs became complicated.
