[b]Report soon as we got out of the car we were nearly blew back into it with the wind but we went ahead and set up the gear and began the session. the wind was madness, thumping out a lead was impossible, it went about 35 yards and the wind stopped it dead in its tracts. but we stuck it out and managed to wangle out a few fish, there was a good few doggies got and some coalies, then near the end of the session we managed to get a few mac's (handy fresh bait) all in all i think we did ok for the conditions we were TRYING to fish in, for it was complete madness, even with the heavy wind there was a lot of really big gusts that took toms tripod clean over, so i had to tie it down with a couple of bungee cords. but bad conditions or not we were not just going to give up and head for home, we sat it out till 5.30pm, we all got our fish and as usual the crack and banter was great eventually we did give up, so it was home for the spuds...

Good report as ever Don
I look like a lolly pop man with that big yellow coat
the photo of Tom don't do it justice as you had to be there
he was teaching the doggie how to sit and roll over and had us all in stitches
A good days craic despite the awful wind
and an odd bango player appearing from time to time

The wind was wild but the crack was even wilder. We all got a few fish so the day was well spent. The few banjo players that did come down to us didnt stay long. We couldnt hear them above the wind. Roll on our next session.

We should explain the term " Banjo Players". They are the " Headbangers, Know it alls and of course the Should have been here yesterday bunch.

you are a game bunch don. sticking it out in those conditions for 10 hours good to see you all got something for your efforts gotta chuckle at tom's doggie obiedence class we'll have to call him the "dog whisperer" from now on
