Sorry to hear about your old man, I wish him a speedy recovery, I'm sure it would be quicker if he caught a few fish

Bad luck on the blank, better luck on your next outing.

A tip for getting your father across the sand on the crutches with a bit more ease,,,, glue some old ice cream container lids to the bottom of the crutches, these will stop the crutches sinking in the sand

Great to see he was able to get out 3 weeks after a hip replacement . Pity about the blank but it was 2 and a half hours in daylight . We've all had blanks but forget about them when we catch on the next session. Still thinking of him at 60 degrees in the sand What about one of these (below) plenty on room for tackle etc

You should take your old man to kilmore quay you can drive right down to end of pier and sit in your car and watch the rods if you want.

Usually you will pick up flounder and some coalies.

Go to the north side of the harbor as you would be dogged by boats coming and going on the south side.
