Report:

This was originally scheduled for Courtown, but was moved due to the great weather we are having. However when we arrived in Toberpatrick we saw that even here was quite packed. Eventually at about 5:30 a gap became available on the beach and it was claimed with tackle Boxes Rod rests etc. At 7pm we were all ready and the baits were sent into the water.

First to score was JP with a small (!) ray, and soon after I had a 27cm flounder. Neil achieved his goal for the day - his first ever smooth hound.

I then ahd a double of a small tub and a flounder. The fishing was generally slow, and as it got darker Ruairi started picking up a few dogs. JP then managed a specimen hound of 102 cms, and then a few dogs after that.

At the end of the night, JP was the winner, with Ruairi close behind.
