county antrim rock mark sunday 4th oct 09

well done lads, cracking days fishing

Well done pal. Bet you two are glad to be out and about again. A slow start but a great finish. Congrats on the conger but I reckon shorty will better that before the years out

thanks ivan. now that i've got a double figure eel anytime we're out fishing it's only fair that i let shorty hit any runs we get on the 2 conger rods. i can't wait to see the scrap he'd have landing a big eel the one he lost at our huss mark was around 15lb and you should have seen and heard the huffing and puffing outta him trying to get it to the shore

great report good to see ye back where ye belong (on a rock somewhere)

cheers seanie, it's good to be back

hi al great fishing, no one told me about your dad but glad to hear he is on the mend, , dont you feel sorry about davesblank in kilcoole

cheers neil. i see it did'nt take him too long to beat it thow even the best of us can have an off day not that something like that could happen to you or i or is it that we just don't post the blanks less said the better

Nice session lads must feel good to get back with such a productive session.

thanks man. but believe it or not that was actually a quiet one for that mark i've been smashed up by a few big fish there on sand eel.... but in our eager over excitement to get out i forgot to lift a packet outta the freezer ah well,,,, there's always next time

Great to see you guys back in action.
Daniel & myself have had a relatively quiet season. We might squeeze in a few trip to D'dee over the next month.

thanks alan. if you're gonna head down to donaghadee in the next few weeks drop me a line and we could join you if we're free. jordan would like one of those haddock for his species list

cracker of a session al, and well done on the pb conger
great report and pic's al did the wee man get his new rod Christened ?

thanks don. the new rod is back in the tackle shop. we discovered upon taking it outta the bag that the 6 1/2 foot 6oz section had a smashed up eye the steel eye was actually bent right back over on it's self and the ceramic ring insert was in tiny bits in the bottom of the bag when i took it back i discovered it was the last grauvell rc beach fs model they had in stock so i'll call back down today to see about exchanging it for another model i paid £130 for it so i'm within the price range of a diawia sandstorm or a sonik sk2 or 3 or a greys beach model. i'll need to see what he can do for me when i call in later

Well done the both of you That was some day's fishing you's had!
Al, did Jordan have you up as early as you had said he would then?
It was great seeing you on saturday for a session and catching up on things.
I'll not mention our near disaster if you don't mate, eh? What a laugh!
I think the next time we should come better prepared!
It gave Dawsey and Norman I laugh at least!

Haha, peering over that fence and seeing you 3 having a swim in the river was definitely a sight to remember!

You couldn’t have timed it any better!
Typical, I felt really wick and you standing laughing at us didn’t help matters much. I’ll get ya back just you wait.
It was a close call, we nearly had to send for the coastguard!
It was just as well we headed for high ground when we did although we still ended up getting wet!
Norman was o.k., he had his thigh waders on.
It was Al and I who didn’t come prepared although we didn’t expect such a big tide. Nightmare!

i really need to get the finger out and get the waders repaired soon. wellies that only go up to your shin are no good when the water's up to your knees

Great report there man. Some excellent pic's too! You do look a bit dubious in the conger pics But ya's must both be over the moon, getting back out and straight into the fish again. Hope ya get a few huss today man

bloody right i looked a bit dubious holding that eel. solid big lump of muscle. i was beginning to have a rethink about holding him like that when he nutted me as i was waiting for junior to get a shot that he felt was up to scratch for our album. bad enough he covered my face with slime when he headbutted me,,, i was just worried that he might bite my face or something as he was writhing in my arms you should see some of the other pics of it trying to get outta my hands

Great session, well done on the conger

thanks frank. just gotta get junior one now

well recently we've given up on mackie flappers or heads as bait and just put 2 fillets on the 8/0 instead. don't know if it has made a difference or we've just been lucky. but i ai'nt complaining

some cracking pictures there. A fantastic report as always pal. No mate, I didn't go to the comp... didnt fancy the drive and had work the next day. Planning on doing a couple of days during the week at waterfoot beach next week if you fancy it.

Dan,

I saw a conger caught on Donaghadee Pier last Sunday night.

It wasn't terribly big but it'd be another step towards your target and its on your doorstep.

Fish straight down the wall with a big lump of mackeral.

Good luck.
