I'm guessing you fished gurteen beach? If so you did well to get 2 fish from it, it's been diabolical the last few weeks!!

i love finding a new mark,found a lovely mark today and I am telling the wife that the fishing is good exercise for the back so I might get out more often I nearly ended up in hospital after the pollack in the third photo,he put some strain on the back
