got a call from handbrake in the morning, (un)fortunately papa smirff couldnt make it :lol: :lol:
got out there to have a couple of snorklers swim past just as we were setting up and that was the last we saw of them. this was the first time handbrake hadn't blanked on this beach in over a year, i was first to get a doggie, and lost a hook to spider crabs :shock: dave caught a teabag which turned out to be a turbot :lol: (there seems to be loads of small ones around at the moment).
had a rig in close (5 yrds) which something ran with for a few seconds.. had the ratchet set on the sl20 and it screamed... but no fish attached :(

ditto - i thought it was some fella in wexford and agreed to head out - then dave rang me and i had to do a bit of groveling - it happens when you change phone and dont save the numbers to the sim
