jumping fish

#1 Post by southaussie »

Hey everyone was down in cork for a day during the week and on the way home stopped off on a beach in east cork when i noticed some silver fish jumping outa the water only 15 or so yards out, any idea what they were i retrieved the spinning rod and a few lures from the car and gave it a lash for an hour or so but no takers, i suspect they were maybe sea trout or bass, the tide was coming in fairly fast cool to see though 8)
