Monty

Nice one lads
The other goby is defo a black goby..

I see you met the village idiot Pete,i hope he didn`t talk too much crap
He must`ve got out for the day

Great report as always lads and a very nice mix of fish

great report and excellent fishing

Few absolute cracker sessions there guys a big well done! Last exam on wednesday so will be ready for action from there on, my gad I am looking forward to it!

great fishing and great report, as usual you guys seem to always find the fish, love the wee goby always think the mini species are mad looking things

cheers man. the minis are always a handy back up when the open sea is too rough. almost all inner harbour marks will throw them up around the weedy and kelpy areas also save the blushes from blanking

Great report lads. Good to see that you managed some fish even if the weather was doing it's best to push you off some of your marks...

cheers mac. i've given up on weather forecast sites
they seem to get it wrong more often than they get it right

wow, some lovely looking turbot there.

cheers man.

some mighty fine fishing lads well done and great report as always

thanks man.

well done ye three.makes me want to go out now

cheers brian. your rock marks up sligo direction should be switching on man . we'll have to tie in with yourself and brian for a throw this summer

Loving that T-shirt!

it just about sums us up

great fishing there guys, love the brut of a conger, classic t-shirt jordan.
well done lads

Supppper report lads

cheers man

just looked at the photos Al will get a to read your report when I have more time but as always looks like you boys a fun and some nice fish!

it will kill 10 mins for you tom when you get the chance to read it
and to think that that was the shortened version too

Great read as always Al . Nice to meet the three of you on a sunny Rathmullan pier and with not an ounce of sleep

great to see you again pete
aye the eyelids were heavy enough at that point. but a stop off in derry on the way home had me fixed with a pint of cafe mocha with 3 added shots of expresso the wagon was bouncing the whole way home

wicked report,some lovely fish there to keep ye busy and serious hours put in were well rewarded,I want that tshirt lol,best of luck hunting a few serious fish this weekend
Ferg

thanks ferg. i just hope this weather holds out for the trip. the downings trips are our favourite on our boat fishing calendar every year

excellent report, personally i hate the fact that this good weather has come around while im in the middle of moving house and all my fishing stuff is packed up.
but at least i can still get my fishing done by proxy
im a glad to see a good number of reports up after the weekend, i fully expected the number of reports to drop since the Bass ban is on.

ahh, gutted brian. but you'll be settled in soon enough man. i'm sure blackhead will get a good rattle as soon as you are sorted

Super fishing guys.
The rugby's well and truely over for the year so now the serious fishing can begin!

cheers alan. we might actually get to wet a line with you this year man

Love those pictures lads Super fishing!
Really need to get me one of them congers,
Monty

thanks monty. we usually just throw a conger rod out when we fish any rock or harbour marks. i bought a little electronic bite alarm that attaches to the rod. so if you get a run, HAPPY DAYS!. but if not, theres nothing lost for it. a lot of the time you'll get nothing, but every now and again you'll come good .

Nice one lads
The other goby is defo a black goby..
I see you met the village idiot Pete,i hope he didn`t talk too much crap
He must`ve got out for the day

thanks very much for the ID davy. i thought it might be the case man. but in my book, you should never be too proud to ask if you don't know something. this oul fishing malarky is a steep learning curve . there's always something new to be discovered on every trip man
as for pete, i reckon it's sacrilege to walk down a pier without a rod in your hand

Great report as always lads and a very nice mix of fish

thanks man. it's good to see the summer species making a return

great report and excellent fishing

thanks man.

Few absolute cracker sessions there guys a big well done! Last exam on wednesday so will be ready for action from there on, my gad I am looking forward to it!

HAPPY DAYS! it's almost smoothie time man

great few sessions lads, nice couple of pollack there, it isn't that good in s. donegal yet, but as weather is warmer they should appear soon, but the beaches are still good going
anyway well done lads, you are still unbeatible

Great report,pics & very nice fishing lads . Was out myself yesterday after Wrasse & there still not back in just one lone Mackerel to save the blank hopefully the next week or two will get the ball rolling

Great report Al, as usual and what a great bit of fishing you enjoyed. Regards Wez

Well done lads great report and good to see you both got lots of fish and different species.

Super fishing guys.The rugby's well and truely over for the year so now the serious fishing can begin!

jeese brian. i thought that end of the world would be fishing by now hopefully not too long to go

Great report Al, as usual and what a great bit of fishing you enjoyed. Regards Wez

thanks wez. i was back there yesterday and had a nice conger and a few pollack to 51cm. but sadly a few chinese lads turned up and killed everything they caught it was the first time they fished the spot and were amazed with the quality of the fish. looks like it's gonna get hammered when they bring their mates back with them. i tried to educate them by explaining that we put 99% of what we catch back in order to preserve the spot. but i think it fell on deaf ears
