good man conor nice win sounded like a hard days fishing

Congrats Conor. 2 legs down and 2 wins under your belt - nice going

well this beach has never been good to me - i used to think it was because i couldnt hit the horizon but now i know its not that - can be some days but not everyday

i think i have blanked here at comps more than any other venue

this place has a great rep - but ive never once got a ray off it

the spiders were pinching the bait for the first 3 hours - i had three hooks robbed in three consecutive casts!!!

well done conor on the wins

Nice one Salty, best of luck with the Home nations team bid, you're going very well.

its a wierd place alright, ive found its very peggy, the eel grass seems to meander in and out in places, either leaving you with a easy cast to get over it on a bloody nightmare. land in it and it seems to mask the bait up with the horrible stringy stuff. the ray seem to be all over the place at high water, comin in very close,, for the life of me i can figure it out.

well done conor
