alain ,

Myself and K2 fished Rathmullan (sp) pier not so long ago, fantastic weather and packed with anglers, mostly mackeral bashers (actually only seen one mack caught), many many tiny herring being caught and that was about it ona very strong tide. It's a pity we didn't have much more time to explore other shore marks around the area.

Alain i think i met you down at the flat rocks in dunmore east. I was with another guy fishing for mackeral in the evening. You were talking about coming back later on when it got dark to catch a conger. Was that you?

Now thats what I call a good fishing holiday!!!!!!!!
Well done Alain.

I had a good chance at Portsalon in day light !
