galway bay, 01/03/09

People: myself

Duration: 6-8pm

Tide: high 7.40pm

Weather: clear light breeze

Bait: rag, lug mac

Rigs: 3 hook flappers

Results: 1 sea trout

Report: had some rag left from saturday and thought i would try it out on a local venue

nothing doing for first hour - bites were taken at the lug/mac rig - the rags ignored to my surprise

tide hit HW and i thought i had more of a pluck on the mack - came in gone

threw it out again same spot - got a slack line - trout took it on and came in towards the shore

but 50 metres down to the left - gave a pull and as these lads do he went mental - few runs - splashes and jumps and out he came

was hiding in the dusk with no headlight at the ready - knocked over me box looking for it - lost a load of bits and bobs - but who cares

tried to take a pic but he was jumping about too much - got himself righted in the dead weed on the shore!!!

heart was pounding - he was easily 60cm+ if not more my 30cm ruler not much use - no decent pics - was so deep and very pale

had him on a size 2 hook!

waded back in and eased him back - some sight as he kicked off

i nearly needed 5 mins rest on the shore to compose myself before i started to look for all me gear

stuff lost but another amazing surprise at this game - all those blanks worth it

ive said it before and ill say it again easily the best fish pound for pound

happy days

Class well done Brian that's confounded the critics i'd say

Well done Brian, i know that feeling, i had it after landing a 6lb bass ,also on a size 2 hook,,,legs all wobbly from the adrenalin,,,you cant believe what just happened,,, well done again.

thanks - its the reason we go out

makes up for the dropped bass of mine at a pier a few months back

well done brian. cant think of anyone who deserves it more than you do

any chance of a pm as to the mark. you don't need to worry, i doubt ill even get out after them.
