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

Re: holly jo, reen pier 16/2/09
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

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

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.....

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
