Report: I left Dublin just before 10 am, and arrived into a fresh but dry Youghal just before noon. Walking down the road towards the Walter Raleigh I surmised that I was probably the first arrival but was charmingly disabused of that by a shout from a car parked at the side of the road. So there he was, JP, the "Rampent Wreckfish", premier national athlete, slurping down his coffee and keeping up with the important girls^H^H^H^H previous days news in The Sun..

Anyway we checked out the beach and it seemed fairly free of weed. The breeze was picking up faily quickly though. We went into the hotel to meet the others, having a quick chat about the year ahead and grabbing a bit of lunch. Jp found out they no longer do "a savage curry". Donal Domeney arrived and it was time to head to the Ferrypoint. You need someone who can infallibly peg a beach from left to right....

Down at the venue the breeze was picking up. The beach looked well, beautifully pegged. We looked at each other a bit sheepishly, scratched our heads and eventually someone piped up that maybe the conditions wouldn't be the most comfortable. Most of us quietly concurred. Donal Domeney was delighted. There's nothing more he enjoys than a good pegging and off he went...

So we ended up fishing in the opposite direction, with the wind at our backs, more or less from our cars. At 2:30 pm the baits went into the water. Ruairi was quickly into codling, and I thought he might just run away with it pegged as he was near the end of Ferrypoint, able to cast into the channel.

That's not quite how things worked though, as Keith started getting into fish, as did JP on my right. JP started with a flounder and then some codling and as it got darker some coalie too. I knew Keith was getting some fish, but we weren't sure quite how well he was doing. I dropped a few fish on the ledge, but that was my own fault really. Cue JP, "What the *** do you mean you're not bothered changing that flounder rod for that GB3 you have in the car. East Coast Anglers. I'm the only one not allowed to give a ****".

At 7:30 pm it was time for lines up.

In the end Keith Murphy had 13 fish to JP's 11

You were warned repeatedly that light rods and little spinning reels were going to get you in trouble but you wouldn't listen. How many sets of gear did you lose in the ledge?? Especially when you had the correct gear in the car not 3 meters away from you.

By the way nice report


Well done to keith for winning the match and to ruari for winning the SAI masters at his first attempt.

You were warned repeatedly that tucking your t-shirt into your jocks isnt a good look for photos. Didnt stop you though did it?

I had to watch him put fish back into the water. Luckily there were no women or children present.

I actually liked it!

Well done on the photos JD, you really caught JP's hoodie in its full glory
And believe it or not he is not the first person to be in the prizes this year wearing a similar top.
I wonder has it got anything to do with the bait their using

Martin - where do I get one of these lucky tops...all help needed for 2012 season

Ok before anyone says it - it'll take more than a lucky top..but its a start
