Report: another quick report were were out last thursday and they were asking to go out again so how could i say NO, i headed off early this morning to launch at 8.30 to make the tide told the two crew to meet me at the harbour for a 10am start they need their sleep.
tide went from the harbour fairly rapid so i went and anchored outside and got them ferried out to me when they arrived, while waiting i had a few fish to keep me busy.
when they came aboard we went looking for macks after a while i managed 4 on a string so off we went anchored up for a few animals dogs showed up pretty much straight away then a change of baits seen the first few hounds arrive when kyle had a very nice 6lb fish

brilliant John and gang - you surely are on fire at the moment. Have you had any luck with mackies? This side is either totally deserted or you catch a few large ones full with roe. Never seen this before.

Great report well done , can't wait to get out on the boat myself

Another fine report, and looks like a great days fishing, with nice mix of species. Fair play

Where do you launch from? Bray? Bulloch? I used to live right on the shore at the bottom of Corbawn Lane, and reading your reports I'm beginning to wish I'd never left! We dont get out half as much over here.

Your new crew seem well and truly hooked. Cracking Pollack John, I'll have to get back out from Bulloch again soon!

They're decent pollack John....did you take them on with your lure rod and Penn Battle?

Nice report John, well done!

Thanks for the replys lads.
