Report: Hadn't gotten out since Wexford so was itching for a session calls were made and 6 GBSAC members were joined by the Mayo selective for a midweek session. After digging several trenches (and breaking 1 fork ) we had gathered enough worms for the group. Vinny was first in with a brace of flounder and coalie i think followed soon after by the crow with a flounder first cast with his new rod. I was next off the mark with a brace of flounder and coalie. Nige followed suit with the biggest flat of the session 34cm flounder and very plump. The rest of the lads starting arriving and real estate was at a premium as soon as the tide turned the fishing picked up i had a treble of flounder and coalies. All the lads were getting into fish although it took some a bit longer than others to get going I had another double shot of flounder and a small cod (biggest round of the session ). There were a good few coalies showing up along the beach with a few decent ones in the mid 20cms. Bradan had a couple of wee cod too. The little bit of surf there was died as the tide hit the steeper part of the beach and the fishing went quite with a couple of whiting and coalies showing late on. Was great to see a good few of the lads getting out and fair play to the Mayo posse for making the trip. The lads can add what they finished up with.... i ended up with 14 coalies 4 flounder 1 cod and 3 whiting.

Vinny and doggie have some pics.

good to meet the galway lads again,and to fish the last time with nige before he travels to foreign lands and to meet lads we had not met before we did not get there till late and the galway lads had robbed the good spots the fishing was quiet, with nothing up to the last hour for the mayo gang,my first blank since april looked possible,and then i got a coalie i finished up with 1 coalie and 3 whiting,goldwing had 4 whiting and 2 coalies,and jason had 2 whiting a new species for him even tho he does not count minis as "real fish! he thinks our next session should be in mayo where and i quote "at least the fish are a good bloody size"! he has a point only the one pic of goldwing with a fish,if you can see it!

well done lads. wee informal comps can be great craic and how jammy was conor. just spotted that the flounder in his treble shot in vinny's pic is a lefty you'll not see too many left handed flounder about. less than a quarter of the hatch develop into leftys so well done
