Report:
The annual Christmas fishing trip, what can I say, couldn't have picked a better day. The whiting were biting and the flats were not small, even the odd codling was playing ball. Dbrock was smiling like a Cheshire Cat while he was pulling in the whiting fat. I was happy to be playing with my new toy while reeling in casts that brought great joy. We left after a great day with lots for the dinner and plenty to say. We will be back again soon hoping for the same, maybe next time with drummer who likes to complain.

I'll get my coat. Happy new year to everyone and tight lines in 2015

some decent sized fish for each species
nice1. nice session

Nice fishing lads

Looking at the weather now I'm glad we got down when we did.

Nice fishin lads.looks like my trip down south is out the window with them winds.

Yea did well, I was fishing de wall on Sunday morning, very poor with one small codling a few scrawny whiting and a micro dab :'(

Some good sized fish there, I'm particularly impressed with those 40cm whiting, never got anywhere near that size from the shore.

Well done Sod nice fishing out of you lads. Was there many cod and did the cod take the fish baits? Heading to cork in 2 weeks so seeing if its worth taking Mac with us.

Straight mack was taking whiting and flats, not many codling maybe 5 in total, all on crab at distance

We were down the 30th, lads had fresh crab all aaround us and we used fresh lug, the crab was getting nothing. We went home with lovely fat cod and whiting, had shrimp that some one left behind and they got us huge flats.....

Cheers and well done again lads.
