This turned out to be an angler bashing session
Whiting PLEASE come back all is forgiven
Anglers: 20
Fish Caught: A big ZEROFrom the off things were not looking good. Even with no weed to contend with the strong Easterly wind and a big surf running saw lines been pulled up the beach to the right.
Even anglers who stayed short had the same problem.
After an hour of this I rigged up two 6oz. leads with about 10" of shockleader between them. It bought me an extra 5-10 minutes outside before it ended 30yds. up the beach without the bait been touched.
Back at the Walter Raleigh all the cards were coming all blanks.
First raffle of the night was the €160 for the optional pool this was split into 4 @ €40
Winners: Olivia O'Driscoll, Mick Maher, Steve O'Neill and Paudie O'Driscoll
The Main raffle saw Ken Hogan win the Penn 525, Hugh Cronin - the rod stand, Myself - the beach buddy and Paudie O' Drscoll the match organiser.
Driving home and trying to find excuses on the lack of fish the only good thing I could take out of the night was the raffle results. With everyone's peg number put into the box for the 2 seperate draws all the winners were anglers who had come back to the bar
A big thank you to the Walter Raleigh for the sandwiches, probley the highlight of the day.
No fish were killed to make this report, a good night for the conservation.
