That's some session! Wonder has the high pressure made the fish a bit lethargic?

Great photos, I suppose it is only march and the tides are slack at the moment.

I might head over one day over Easter, sure Galway’s only out the road!

I have to admire your persistence - 32 hours !!!
After a six hour session I am tired.
Shame it wasn't more productive, probably a combination of slack tides and static high pressure as Bradan mentioned.
