[b]Results me "BLANKETY BLANK" tom 2 flounder




[b]Report meet up with tom at the marina and we fished fahan beach, mainly to check if the thornie's have arrived yet, they are showing up on other marks on up the swilly, so was hoping that they have reached fahan. but no joy, not even a sniff of one. tom landed two flounder and saved the blank, john (beachcaster) landed down and we had a good yap and bit of banter, but still no signs of any thornie's making an appearance, then i got a good solid pull on one of my rods, a few seconds later another good hit, but no hook up. after that it was just wee taps every so ofen. at the end up i knew we were just floging a dead horse, so we packed up and headed for home, will give the beach another throw in a few weeks time to check it again...

good to get a chat to you and tom,the colour in the water may not have helped don,but as you know this time last year you had fish.but i feel sure its going to fish shortley.better luck next time mate.

Unlucky don. thanks for the invite UP today. Will definately yake you up on the offer for another time. Which will be soon- we are champing at the bit to get up.

unluckly don,any size to the flounders tom? i am hoping the ray come in soon, hope that i get to wet a line sometime this year

First flounder was 18cms while second one was foul hooked and about 16cms. Fishing not hectic but the banter and the craic was mighty.

unlucky don lad , well done tom . did`nt get to culdaff this morning whilst driving up to it at 0430hr came across a car accident stayed there until help arrived , nearly 0600 before got away from that, just turned around back home . will get out with you soon though .

hard luck don,they will come! and well done tom,ya bet the blank!

cheer's guys, the fishing was bleak to say the least. fishing at different distances to cover the channel but no joy at all, but sure it was a day out, with good company and good banter...

unlucky lads, but always worth a chuck just to see. when it fishes, it fishes well just not at the moment

Unlucky Don I hope they are there for easter time was planning a wee session up there maybe. I wonder would it be better leaving it to nearer the summer??
