Great bit of fishin' there lads.
The only concern I'd have would be for your drivin.'
At 10:10 on the film ya overtook a car anda cyclist on a single continous white line.

Brilliant report, fishing and weekend! Well done all.

cheers man

Weel done lads, some great fishing, great report and pics, me thinks it could be time to give the old haunts in Clare a lash again to see whats happening, Well done again lads

cheers man. some really fishy looking marks out that way that rarely see rod and line. i could easily spend a month out that way fishing marks we spotted on the drive

fishing and bit of drink combined together makes a great craic thought , great report Al, well done lads

cheers grady. it was a blast man

Great report al and great video drew,reminds me of our swilly safaris!got the story of drew tonight there,sounded like a mighty weekend

it was a great weekend man. althow i don't think drew is a big fan of the tatty juice any more

great report al its good to see ye got a few nice fish,it was good to meet you and Jordan and drew as well

great meeting you too man. half the fun of travelling around all over ireland is getting to meet the lads off the site. no matter where we go it's always good to meet fellow anglers off the site. and no matter how good your angling knowledge might be you can always pick up tips and tricks off other lads

2012 is off and running Al! Great stuff, sea trout, Bass and flounder, what more could you ask for? Good work and nice pics.
Whats your species count for the year so far? And Jordans?

hi cathal. i still have'nt added up last years species and catch count from our diary yet . but as usual, i'm pretty sure junior has the lead on me again

Well done guys, great results, A+ for effort and sounds like a trip to remember. You guys must have very understanding wives/girlfriends or a very expensive Valentine's Day coming up

lots of grovelling and fine dining on the run up to a trip always helps

great read al and great fishing lads well deserved for the time put in

cheers man. there might not have been any great numbers of fish caught, but we went for quality over quantity this time (well,,,,,, thats my excuse and i'm sticking to it )

Great bit of fishin' there lads.

At 10:10 on the film ya overtook a car anda cyclist on a single continous white line.

yeah man, the reason drew got the vide out was that there was a queue of 20 cars behind us in a tail back. that wee old woman in front of us was doing 10mph on a road you were allowed to do 50mph on!!! the cyclist was actually pulling away from her and i had some impatient muppet sitting on my back bumper. if he had have been any closer, he would have been in my boot! it was like 2 polar opposites with captain slow in front of us (who was about a week older than moses) and an accident waiting to happen stuck up our toosh!!! so i just took the advantage of the first stretch of straight road to distance ourselves from what was an accident waiting to happen. god only knows how the wee old woman dealt with the moron behind me if he was stuck to her bumper . some people have no patients at all .

Great report as usual Al. Congrats on what sounds to have been a cracker wee trip

good stuff lads, roll on the summer for the smoothies, im sure you will be down

excellent session lads ,hope to fish with you guys soon .

sounds more like a road trip than a fishing trip plenty of liquor and afew fish for good measure. the wee man takes the belt off his da again with his seatrout! ya may get the finger out al

Great report as usual Al. Congrats on what sounds to have been a cracker wee trip

good stuff lads, roll on the summer for the smoothies, im sure you will be down

hell yeah neil gonna do a bit more exploration in wexford/waterford this year to see what it has to offer .

cheers zeke. any time man

sounds more like a road trip than a fishing trip plenty of liquor and afew fish for good measure. the wee man takes the belt off his da again with his seatrout! ya may get the finger out al

cheers man. yep, it's back to buisness as usual with jordan again
