Report:



Just lost the detailed report(I know ,,,,,,,should have taken my own advice and copy and pasted it ) so here's the shortened version.
I arrived, I set up , I met "the Legend", and Paul "Tope" Skelly. I caught a half decent smoothie,lots of small pups, a doggie, a dab, weeverfish, and whiting. It rained, it stopped briefly,,,,,,,then it rained again and didn't stop . The tide rose and the stream came in from behind me threatening to cut me off Luckily my headlamp died (it has since rose Lazarus-like once it dryed out ) and I had to pack up before my standby flickering lamp also died. I crossed swollen streams,with the help of the Legend, and got back to the van. I hit the road,,,then hit flooded roads and was stopped by Emergency Council crews and turned around. Detoured for 30 mins Apart from all that it was fine ,,,,,,,and I cant wait to do it all again next week

Just a note of thanks to the lads who posted reports of weevers recently and put me on guard,it would be so easy to mistake them for whiting and swing them into your hand. Now I check first I was lucky to get the smoothie as it was all pups later on. Hopefully the lads did well after I left.

nice 1 dave a few fish to make the trip worth while is always a good thing pity the weather did not play ball if you ever looking for a bit of company for a few hour session give us a ring

Nice smoothie these Kerry bass are just too easy can't wait to get back to the east coast

was great to see you dave ,was a nice fish , you left at the right time tho, fishing was poor afterwards, small pups,flats and the odd doggie til 2 am, when beer ,firewood and bait ran out , very enjoyable tho, bring yer tent next time

Looks like a great session! Nice smoothie!

Nice one Dave all we got was pups
Ye there seems to be a lot of weevers about had a few myself

Fair play Dave nice hound and a close call with the weever could of been a whole lot worse that a 30 detour.
