Re: connemara coastal capers!!!! 3rd &4th may
Excellent fishing as always. Nice one on your first ever ray and both on the huss
The turbot will come for Jordan eventually and I hope it is a stonker. Saltydog really did put you on the fish big time

i thought he was into a sea trout at first due to it's size and the way it was zipping about under the water, but jordan was just stoked to get his first mack of 2009

Re: connemara coastal capers!!!! 3rd &4th may
nice session for the 3 of you. Ive been busting to get out but with all this rain where getting up here in n.i. ive been housebound and my fingers are numb from tying rigs. But its nice to see someone getting a good session in well done.
Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down the pond chasin' bluegills and tommycods. This shark, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's just too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.
