What can I say apart from Excellent stuff lads! That is a brilliant result for just a few days fishing....sounds like heaven to me.
You's have managed to catch a species on my wishlist, the triggerfish. I’m not jealous at all I promise (aye right) Some quality bass too, well done men
It sounds like the fishing down there in Kerry at the minute is amazing. I hope it stays like that until I go.
Those rays are fantastic too. Sounds like a fun but hectic and tiring few days was had........good luck on your next trip down although I don’t think you need it!! I am looking forward to the report already!
