First time fishing for smoothhounds n dogfish , caught 7 dogfish over an hour or two of fishin!

I Bought this westin Streetstick 2-7 on Saturday. I put a reel on it this evening and it felt off so I looked at it and it feels like the first eye is off to the left I haven't used it, will the shop replace ot do ye think ?

Was out on the Karen Ann today, put me on some excellent pollock. Used the 5/0 Shakespeare Gummi Makk rig to avoid the dinks. Great time was had!

Caught on Temu/Ali jig heads and paddle tail

First time I ever targeted bass I caught 2 small dinks and this morning after some great advice from this sub I landed this amazing fish. Size 8 foot for reference but also a thick well fed fish!

Was having a shit week and last night was tough thought I’d clear the head and cast aimlessly for a few hours.

It didn’t seem right to keep and she swam off.

21 years living near the royal canal I never fished it😂
So I said I’ll pop by and spend 30-40 mins with a lure.
5 little European perches in the span of an hour and a half.

This fella was caught on a treble hooked spinner

Took this photo yesterday around the Docklands.

There’s a long rainbow-coloured slick on the surface of the water and it looks a lot like fuel, oil, or some kind of chemical runoff. I’m not saying that’s definitely what it is (you can smell fuel tho) but it looks pretty nasty.

Does anyone know what this could be, where it might be coming from, or whether it should be reported somewhere? Am I overreacting or are we literally letting this flow through the river?

Gave the harbour a bash with micro fishing and it payed off big time! Caught 30+ little fellas over around a 6hr fishing trip . Ide also already caught pollock but the young ones still look deadly.

Fly fishing this area in Wicklow, I know it holds fish but they won't take any of my flies. Theyre rising consistently in the deeper side. New to the game so any advice helpful.
