Report:We had a great day in Arklow, One of the lads Robbie Coventry had only casted in and turned his back and his rod thumped over from a 47cm wingspan thornback ray,that was returned before i got the oppurtunity to get a snap, while most picked up a dab or a dog on their first cast, there was a steady flow of fish with a few small pup tope showing up and the smoothy's, the best smoothy of the day went to Robbie 96cm, it would have been nice to have a scales but it seemed as if it would have been close to specimen weight.

the smoothy's were at distance but everything else was in close at about 40 yards

sounds like a good day nice hound in the pic. im no expert but would a 96 cm hound be touching the scales betwen 6 or 7 lb any idea of what the specimen weight is for a hound

Sounds like great fishing, fair play.

any idea of what the specimen weight is for a hound

7lb

well done guys, i was a little further down the beach and recieved a single flounder all beit a large one, great pic

excellent fishing man sounds like you should have a whip round and get a set of club scales for the future

we normally carry scales with us, but we were not expecting a fish of that class to be caught, lesson learned

Great looking fish, arklow can be a good spot minus the michael schuamachers driving up and down in there suped up nissan micras

good sized hound there, nice fishing well done

great to see all the species, well done on your win robbie

Awesome fish there, sales for the ray and smoothie would have been nice as you say, but you can't plan for it all
