Not sure I'd be admitting in public that my grandad was Noferatu the Vampyrenicefish wrote: My grandad lost them.
Actually I did; nice big black lug too--though the digging was a balls. Caught me no fish either; in fact, I reckon all of my fishing karma for the next two years is now used upsouthaussie wrote:After watching JAWS last nite with the kids I'm not sure I'l be digging baitfor a while, Great photos and a once in a lifetime experience, thanks for sharing it.
p.s. did ya get any lug after???
Could be an orca maybe? I remember when that trio of orcas came into Cork Harbour a few years back. I was standing on Kennedy pier in Cobh, and saw THREE fins four foot high emerge from the water in the distance. I nearly fell in too ...seanie35 wrote:A mackie basher i know swears blind that he had a shark of some type follow his 3 mackeral on feathers near helvick about 4ft long fin out of the water and all he nearly fell in after the experience
