Report:
Went to westport with the missus and her family for the weekend and brought along the gear to sneak out for a quick session. Fished a Mayo mark just outside westport on Saturday for an hour and a half, I would have fished longer but Dinner was booked and I left the smokes in the car Noel and Brian had sent me a Pm about this mark and it sounded good so I gave it bash, unfortunately the tide wasn't the best with me fishing just before low water. I managed 5 dogs, no ray or huss but at least I didn't blank. I reckon fishing this mark from Low water up would give you a chance a some good fishing will defo try it again, cheers again to all the lads who sents Pm's


Day 2:
I decided to fish a Galway mark that i'm familiar with on the way home. Aoife was grand as long as she could take some photos so happy days It was lashing so fair play to her for staying out! Used a loop and then a pulley, First cast had a doggie and a nice size whiting....blank avoided already which was good, Missed another doggie bite second cast so I changed from the pully to another loop rig. About 15 mins into the 3rd cast I had the unmistakable pull down of a ray and I wasn't mistaken as I brought in a Thornie of about 3lb or so. Had 2 or 3 more cast after this and had more decent whiting and a small tub gurnard. Packed up as I had the drive to Dublin Not bad for two short sessions and I finally got my first Ray of the year...they haven't been playing ball on the east coast so far.

Will stick up a few picks in the next day or two!
Cheers again to all the lads who sent the Pm's
