Wow! That's some haul of fish. Here's hoping that if the Ray are in east Cork, they won't be shy about making their way over to me in west Waterford ...

Well done John, that's a fine haul of painted ray for this time of the year - local knowledge makes all the difference, aswell as local crabs .

sometimes i wish i lived in cork

great fishing john i might have to start following ye

Well done on the painted ray - you had better fishing than I did over the weekend in the search for the ellusive bass.
Are the codling ever going to leave

Very nice fishing there John...well done

Lovely fishing john. That's some result. There'll be no crab left for the customers but who gives a f**k when the fishing's that good.
