GBSAC competition, Lettergesh, Co. Galway 06/04/08

People: me + 20 others

Duration: 11:00 - 16:00

Tide: turned from LW about 2.30-3

Weather: hailstones, sleet, gusts, bright spells ?!?!

Bait: lug, mack, sandeel, squid, maddies

Rigs: 3 hook flappers

Results: 10 flounder to 36cm :D

Report: wrecked, but delighted - first 20mins it was a downpour with a really strong gale - was examining my sanity for a good while

was pegged at the end (northerly end) not near either of the early pegs near the streams

was not expectatious but within 30 mins - first off 2 undersizes - blank saved!!!

threw it in again where the were - 2 counters!

bit further plump 36cm

same again - another 36 and an undersize

in close another counter 31cm

and again another counter

and again another counter - all fish in an hour and 45mins

then all quiet

but was enough - took the comp!

most fish on the top hooks not - the usual below the lead

the northerly must have blown all the fish to me first at that peg - so left none for the rest of them :lol:

lug and mack did the damage - with one gobbling a sandeel on one hook and a lug tipped with mack on another hook

another took maddies

scratching fantastic!

happy out

:lol:

sounds like you had a great day,
well done on the win, some nice flounder there man,

Well done Brian, delighted for you. You've come a long way!
Had 2 counters myself, 2 turbot on the one cast. One on lug and the other on sandeel. Missed a rattling bite later, and that was that. As I thought, most fish caught in the first hour and all quiet once the tide turned. Hate fishing that beach on a rising tide!
You did well, some top anglers there and you totally outfished them. Congrats again!

Lads, ask JP how he got on!! :lol:
