Report:Got the text from Tom that he was for Buncrana so away I went.Got there about 8.30 and Tom was just set up and rods out.
Coffee first then set up myself. It was a super morning with the swilly flat calm but not a bite to be seen
After a while Tom reeled in to change bait and a wee tiny dab was on the line,the lug it had ate was bigger than it but at least the blank was saved.
The wind got up and was gusting down the swilly which made it fairly cold and no fish made it even colder
A local half wit JJ came along and was talking to us for about an hour and that kept us entertained I think he must be a far out family member of the banjo man from Leenan...we can fair attract them...
Anyhow packed up around 3 or so and headed home

A few photos
Tom launching a bait down the swilly and the little dab

brilliant photo of lead in flight,
at leaset you caught that well cathal

that dab is well hooked for the size of him .the pictures are top quality.must be a good brand of camera you are using

nice day for it and very nice photos there.

thats one species i've never had in the swilly! good job.
