Salthill beach, Galway, 25/04/07

[stevecrow74]

People: myself and Midget

Duration:er.. casting for a few hours then actually fishing for about an hour

Tide:rising

Weather: clear with a SW wind

Bait:mackerel.. it would be ashamed to be called a mackerel by the state of it

Rigs:2 hook flappers

Results:doggie and a flounder

Catch and Release:: Yes



Report: went casting to see if i could improve technique a bit more and midget arrived with a couple of rigs and what i was told was mackerel... after an hour or so of casting it was time to put the rigs into the water.. midget had a nice bang to his rod which he didnt see :roll: soon after he brought in a nice doggie...

i nearly had a doggie.. but of a different kind..how ever i did manage to catch the owner.. silly old biddy walked straight into my line.. and a second later her old biddy friend proceeded to do the exact same thing :roll: :roll: ...
after all the commotion i noticed a nice little running tap tap tap of a flattie :) ..
pulled in a nice little flounder..

managed to put my knee out of place again (serves me right for trying to drop kick midget :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: )
ah well one day i will learn :roll:

well i told him to bring a rod rest/tripod.. guess what he shows up with...

My missus just spotted your pic, after she had finished shrieking, she asked...."Is that hairy bloke showing off a fish or his rod....??"

Answers on a postcard please...... :wink:

well the rod would have gone into the rod rest if someone brought one..

not bad though for unplanned fishing :D

Is that the 16" or 18" frame rod stand :lol: :twisted: :lol: :twisted: :lol: :twisted:

its midgets... i'd say 13" frame

LOL... Yeah right... :wink: :D Tried my best to catch something of note last night to have a pic taken with my own new zippy.... End result was a shore rockling of 8 inches at best. It was however the first slug I ever had so somewhat saved the night.

at least the last time you put ur knee out you had a good excuse :lol: :lol:

attually it was supposed to be a kick in the face..............anyway, i said i wasnt gonna bring a tripod coz they are really annoying if you are trying to cycle with one.

managed to put my knee out of place again (serves me right for trying to drop kick midget :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: )
ah well one day i will learn :roll:

:D Tramore comes back to Haunt you.... again.... 8)

nice advertising steve...sending subliminal messinging to all other non zzippy owners... unlucky bout the dropkick tho..mayb next time :twisted: ...
