West waterford 8/5/12
Got to the mark for 6 , heart sank first 30 yards out looked like beef stew but as the tide pushed in a few clear patches developed got a schoolie first then a crackin fight off this fella about 3.5 lb , 1 thing im learning lately is the "keep at it factor" tbh i was nearly heading home until i seen a guy pull in an 8lber (looked a double) and also a seal munching a massive silver fish
