Great fish there lads well done!!!

''heavyweight'' fish you have there lads...welldone

Nice fishing! A few PB's there I'd say. Well done.

Super stuff lads well done

must say really enjoyed the day ! especially when you win the tenner a man wager which paid for my trip thank to gary for the lift up and fairplay to him for bringin the black bags which proved vital when we arrived back at port and id just like to say hard luck to the cork lads who caught sweet F-ALL !! the day before us , (dont worry lads if you ever want to know how to fish just ask us dubs(jw , myself and wrassebasher) who clearly dominated the boat UP THE DUBS

great decision to stay close cracking fish dont think the dubs would be able to land the saucepan lids the cork lads caught not an easy thing to do.the elusive lids they known as around here best bait for them is rusty pots

great day's fishing there lads, amazing pics, bet you've still got the adrenaline levels going up

PS: boycie89, you have Post

Great catches. Well done, the fish can be hard to come by at this time of year.

Thanks to JW for organising the trip. Great day out in outstanding conditions.
Well done to Boycie on the biggest fish, a worthy winner any day.
There should be more days like this
Rederic

I'd second that. Many thanks to JW. Congrats to Boycie on a great fish....btw it was nearer to 21lbs on my scales...but I suppose you're happy with 20 .

Very Jealous

dont worry lads if you ever want to know how to fish just ask us dubs(jw , myself and wrassebasher) who clearly dominated the boat UP THE DUBS

Hey Boycie that's a bit harsh....the Cork lads acquitted themselves quite well on the day.

Nice fishing lads, puts the tiddler scratching we were doing on Sunday in the shade thats for sure. Pat, dont mind Boycie, there's nothing more annoying than a jammy young fella..... Wrassebasher, think I recognise you from the pic, Defence forces SAC by any chance?

Nice fishing! A few PB's there I'd say. Well done.

Yes Jim, the fishing was great. PB for me on the coalfish @11.5. Previous best was on Pollack Rock @ 6lb. PB equalled on pollack @10.5lb. Had similar sized fish on the Daunt & on the Harbour Rock previously. The bigger coalies around 8 - 11lbs fought like hell....makes you wonder what a 20lber would do. Have signed up for next week already....fingers crossed .
