SAT : no runs only a couple of dogs.
a few lads beside us caught a good few smooth hounds

SUN : Caught the fish early sunday morning an hour before high tide. Quick photo and then released it much to the disgust of three eastern europeans who were fishing further down who asked me if they could keep it! since i was putting it back. they already had a dogfish and a bass that weighed 1/2lb at best
but cracking day my first tope from the shore after 3 years of trying!

legend mate. . . .well done. cracking session. fish of a lifetime. If I ever get something that size from the shore Im getting it framed and replacing it with the tv lol

Well Done on your catch...

I had to look twice at your post... Date and species... Those lads even broke the Law... Bass ban when they caught the bass.

Nice one Donal, thats certainly is a cracking fish alright and well earned too, persistence really does pay off. I'm sure you won't be forgetting that fish in a hurry, Well done.

well done donal,fish of a life time...im sure you're still dreaming holding that fish
salute to you mate

beautiful fish very well done any idea of weight
30ish?

no we didnt weigh it cause we didnt really have anthing to weigh it in, so we just released it. im guessing between 30lb - 35lb . But i dont care really what weight it is, its my biggest fish from the shore, and my body is still aching

35 so again very well done ive never fished for them but i think i may give it a go now

Brilliant mate very well done
