Rigs:pulley rigs and 2 hook flappers in close

Report:Went to same beach as last week with Neil. Lovely night to be out. We both got a decent smoothie each in daylight which made our evening if that makes any sense . Strong tide running north was making us think we had runs and we had to tighten the drags a bit. My smoothie was taken on a pennell pulley on crab and it took me a while to get the hook out so no photo as he had to go back asap. Junior comp on further down the beach and they got some smoothies with one young lad getting one of 86cms.Neil gave one of the young lads some crab and he got his first ever smoothie on it .Things went very slow after that till Neil decided to pack up , then promptly landed another decent smut . I had a whiting to even the scores at 2 fish each . After he left for his beauty sleep I got 4 pup smoothies ,2 dogs and 4 whiting . Another decent nights fishing and well worth the drive.
ps,,,,,,,,,,,Had a few chips in Courtown before the session . Parked up at the beach to eat them ,,,,,,,,,,,some lads go to drive down onto the obviously soft sand and I say to myself,"No way!,they surely wont",,but they did ,,,,,,,,they got stuck,and then decided to drive on further and really get bogged down Last week at Ennereilly I saw the same thing,,,,,,,a souped up boy racers car going where a 4x4 was needed

very nice session there Dave, well done

Well done Dave, nice way to finish up the month.
I just realized that July was the first month that I didn't do any fishing since I started fishing just over three years ago - damn foot has been giving me problems, I did attempt to get out a couple of weeks ago but the walk to the mark had my foot acting up again (even though it was a relative easy walk), so I didn't even bother fishing, just headed back home. I have rested it since and hopefully I will be OK to get out again soon.

well done lads and good pictures as usual good stuff

well done dave and neil.another great report

Good fishing there eyes. Was it the lucky yellow trousers again or did you leave them behind. My " lucky " hat has lost its mojo and is worse than useless. It will get its last chance soon and then we will see what its fate is to be. Once again well done mate.

Had the yellow hi-vis trousers on alright Tom The luckiest thing about them is that they were free ,i've ordered blue ones this year so hopefully they'll have some luck attached to them

well done dave and neil.another great report

Cheers Gordon, hope to meet up with you again sometime

well done lads and good pictures as usual good stuff

Cheers Frank,did my knee in digging bait and hasnt been the same since,despite 2 spoonfuls of cod liver oil a day which tastes rotten,but i guess its just the fish getting their own back on me. Hopefully your foot will heal up soon. My son has moved to Middleton so I might be looking to hook up for a session sometime soon

very nice session there Dave, well done

The dream team strikes again. You's two are flying at the minute with some brilliant sessions, well done to the both of you Great report and pics Dave

Nice session lads I wish those smoothies would venture further north....

cracking fishing there dave and good to see neil is at his generous best with the crab for the young lads, fair play to him . as for the boy racers, there would be a brave bit of irony to it if the sea swallowed up one of those souped up cars . just think, in only a few months time you'd have a nice wee artifical reef to fish there
