how many turned up for this in the end,,,i couldnt make it unfortunately

[Dawsey]

Nice report zud, nice to put names to faces, pity none of the big flats or rays played ball, but great craic was had by all.

32cm flounder zud, that extra centimeter counts mate, well so i've heard any ways

We stopped at Fahan after the comp to get the burgers and sausages on, we were all starving. Ended up just fishing it, conditions were perfect so was the fishing report will follow.

11 Anglers in total Brian, not as many as expected but still everyone seemed to have a great day, no blanks so that's always a good sign.

[Drew]

Don't think I've ever been so late for a session in all my life... Good to see you guys had a good day!

Dawsey! Good to meet you man! Will have to get a wee session out with ya sooner or later!!

[Al and Jordan]

great to meet you zud and lazz. always good to put names to faces . it was just a pity the bigger fish had other ideas on the day , but sure you can't win them all. dawsey did us proud getting the win with his last cast. the look on jordan's face was priceless when dawsey reeled the winning fish in as he thought he had it in the bag all day with his 25cm flounder . and a big thank you to pete and cathal for putting up the prizes out of thier own pocket, top men . hopefully the whip round we did for the RNLI will be put to good use. i've never had to avail of their services (and hopefully never will) but they should be given our full support as people frequent the coast on a regular basis. i like the motto of "always support them, but pray you never need them".
good to see old friends and make new ones too

[fishermannum1]

really enjoyed the day lads it was good crack, as was said none of the bigger fish showed up but at least everyone was catching and there was no blanks. also was good to meet up with some more members off the site, a good bunch of lads and and we all had a good chat and banter, hope to meet some of you's again for a session.
nice one on the win Dawsy, all that jumping up and down on the flounder did take it up to 32cm

[Al and Jordan]

he took your advice don and nailed it's head to the top of the measure and stretched the tail to the other end with a rubber band
good to wet a line with you again man

It was a great day and the weather played ball which was good. It was great to meet up and fish with old friends and some new ones as well. Great to meet Dawsey and Zud and Pete and have a chat. The fish were mostly small but at least no one blanked. Bring on the next SAI meet which hopefully will be soon.
