Hiya
Did I miss something or has Rob got himself a 7 lb gilthead out of Cork Harbour - was checking the other mags (the competition!) and saw a photo of a massive bream, I think they said it was 3.4 kilos!!!

Time spent fishing is never time wasted...
2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks
