me and the son went down to fahan for a short session, and from the frist cast the rods were bending, it was all doggie's an ray. only got a few pic's then the camera died on me, will put them up when i get back on line (on someone else's pc at the minute) best two rays were 6lb 140z and one at 7lb on the nose, and on my last cast i got a cracker of a doggie that came up on the scales at 4lb 1oz. it was only a short session but i really enjoyed it, cant wait to get back out again...
