Argh.. just spent 20 mins typing up a cracker of a report.. then clicked one little wrong button and gone...
The guts of it were - went up to donegal with lady and best mate nad his lady- they all whined when I wasnted to go fish for justt a few hours each day so after a two fingered salute off i;d go , mainly to portsalon, a 5 min gaunt... got Lovely mack on the float, big hoors, pollock, doggies, flatties, and a couple of conger, best one 9lb 4 oz... missed a few bigger takes as by time i got to rod, they'd gone to ground..after slack line, got back hook and bait witha few teeth marks in it.. was using 10/0 meat hook to avoid gut hookups, got fish with lip/jaw hooks -easy release, minimum injury to em...
good times had by me, sad faces by whiney friends who sat back in cottage reading/napping......
