Sounds like you guys had a cracking run at the pier(s) I'll have to get some worm and get a run down again ,haven't fished the place in more than a month .Some nice fish you had .
If someone shows you a mark to fish, respect it and dont pass it of as one of your own, dont tell every man and his dog about it.

Alan and Jordan,

Thats some going!! Sounds like you had you were well rewarded for your efforts. Alan bet you are glad you topped juniors fish count for the first in a while.

I would be very interested in hearing if you make it to Rathlin how you get on.

Jonny

I'll be Galway bound on saturday Al ,but I was thinking of fishing the north coast somewere on thursday possibly Ramore head if the weather permits,depends were I can get my hands on some bait , I've still to try Rathlin my-self ,Though there's a few deep spots close to the shore could be worth trying , It's a bit of a hike for the wee man if your going to get him to rue point and back in time for the ferry . especially if you've to prise him of the rocks away from monster pollack :lol:
