dingle peninsular sun 25-05-08

after being cruelly awoken at 0540 by the slave driver a quick look out of the window revealed the weather,
25-30 mph north-easterly winds,,,,,,,,,,,,not good at all.
jonty had planned a trip to either dun an oir for the bigger pollock and wrasse, or derrymore strand for stingrays and tope.
after a quick re-think he decided on beenbane.
two hours later and not a single bite,,,,,,,not looking good
after a re-think we moved to dingle lighthouse

at last after another trek, but nothing like slea-head we were out of the wind and the sun was beating down
the fist thornback

it ended up a cracking day after all,,,,
a big thanks to jonty for putting me on to the marks, cheers mate, and thanks for all the hints, tips and advice over
the past few months,,,,anyone who would ignore advice off a top angler would be an utter fool.

also a really big thanks to jonty's family in cloghane for the hospitality, and the venison roast yum yum,
nice view from the kitchen by the way
