Sea Angling Ireland SAC Open June 21, Kilmuckridge,Wexford

I sence a bit of frustration there !

Just heard there was a sh*t load of weed.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! f###############k
po###########y.

Still having trouble with that keyboard I see :twisted: :lol: :lol: :lol: you wer saying :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I heard there was more weed than at Woodstock :cry: :wink: thats Match fishing though :roll:

Tom.

i,ll second that ! :shock:

weed ,weed and more weed
fishing was hard with the run and the amount of weed
had 3 flounders 2 in 1 under 30cm 21cm and 18cm
won the zone and lucky to get the over all by 1cm
and had the biggest flat :D :D
great over all prize with carbon metal rod 8)
well done to the organisers with the condition of the weather
will be back next year

Well done Pete :wink: There was a bit of weed alright :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well done Pete.

Very weldone Pete on the win and to anyone who managed a fish at all.
Conditions were horrible and the weed in the water ruined any chance of actually fishing for everyone. Casting out anything other than 5 yards resulted in the tide taking your rig as far left as you allowed it to go. Each cast lasted approx 5 minutes before having to spend 10 picking all the weed from the line. Tough going and hard to stay out in.

I'm sure it was a huge disappointment to all concerned after all the hard work that went into organising the event and those who showed up. Prizes were exceptional though and hopefully the weather gods will be kinder next year!

Hats off to JD, Jonathan, and Mac who Planned, Pegged and Done all the work to make the Open happen.

Steve Crowe flew the SAI flag too with 2nd prize in his zone. Good on ya!

tnx lads was torture bt very well organised nd a good craic.it was pity about the weed and weather

Very disappointing the way things turned out, but we'll learn from it.
Thanks to Jonathan for going back down the next day and making sure the beaches were free of litter.

fair play to him alright

fishing was hard work.. i'm still surprised by the flounder that must have chased after my bait as weed wind and surf was running it along the beach at high speed.

even more surprised i got a place in the zone :shock: just shows how tough the fishing was :shock:

well done the pete lad, nasty conditions bring out the best in you 8) hope the weathers good for the next club comp ,the rest of us might have a chance, seem to remember u won the last 1 in bad conditions :wink: :lol: :lol:
