Report:

Difficcult to get fish to size. First casts got me a little tub just under the measure. I looked up to see Fintan reeling in a small ray, so I decided to cover the ground in front of me with a ball lead to find some flounder. A procession of small whiting and dabs kept me busy and put me ahed of fintan, then dabs and flounder to size arrived. Found it difficult to get anything to size, but towards the end I got two whiting over the measure on a clip down. Dogs were late appearing, I dropped one on last cast, Fintan bringing in two towards the end but it was not enough to pip me.
