nice fish even the small ones,well done good session

[bigsod]

Good craic even though my tope and hound were both only a foot long.Tonys tripod was knocked over and his rod nearly dragged in by a seriously good fish but it got off by as soon as he lifted into it.Got a good sized spider crab also, they had been cutting snoods throughout the session so drummer got his own back and took him home for dinner
