Well done lads, hard luck on the bass but they can show up when you least expect it, keep it up, and that looks like a decent flounder there. Dont forget the wellies next time :lol:

haha bloody flounders Noel! imagine that. a fishing trip with you Noel and co is well worth the mileage! you will get yer bass, just like the flounder! solunar chart is anti fish at the mo if you are to go by cortaz "predictable fishing" report, and it works for me! if you don't get yer bass come to dublin and you might even get a rare whiting too :D
it won't be too long Noel til the line wizzes off with a bass or two!
keep up the reports.

pity i coulnt get across lads - and at least you picked up a few fish - I've been getting withdrawal symptoms :lol: :lol:

will be interesting to see if a few more bassies appear from that spot if they get targeted a bit more,

good luck with the hunt!
