[b]Report got to fahan and meet up with tom who was already on the beach and set up, me and the son set up just to the right of him, a while later john (Beachcaster) arrived and set himself up to the left of tom. so there was eight rods now out, everything was very quiet :roll:

so i just kept changing the baits about every 15 minutes or so, tom went to change his bait and felt a bit of weight, he never seen any bites on the rod so he just thought it was weed, he got a nice shock when he landed a 6lb 14oz thornie, nice one tom

so that was him off the mark

a few pic's and it was released back to the water. we were then all watching our rod tips waiting for the onslaught, we waited and waited :roll:

nothing!!!! and that was the way things were for the rest of the session, not even a bite :shock:

i tyred every bait i had, tryed at distance and in close, and still nothing :shock:

the only weight i felt was when hauling in about 2 stone of weed on one of my rods, checked it out to see (rather hoped) if there was a ray in the middle of the weed, sod all only 4 or 5 crabs attached to my bait :evil:
