first ray and pollack of the year....

#1 Post by lucky »

result.. myself and tornadeo8 headed out to conamara in search of a new mark.. we decided on one we looked at before..lovely deep water mark.. tornadeo8 was first of the mark with a fine ray to about 5 lbs,,,me following with a double hook up of doggies,,, and then finaly my first ray of the year... we where keeped busy most of the session with ray and doggies.. i set up a float rod with a sandell and got a pollack to about 2 lbs.... so good choice on the mark...... hope i can upload the photos... evertime i use a resizer it still never works.... why cant there be a resizer built into the forum.....

well done lads, lovely days fishing there
2011: Aims:
1. To discover as many marks as I can.
2. To catch a bass over 5lb on a lure.
3. To stick to, and learn about lure fishing so I can shake off the beginner tag!
