was itching to get out for a throw so hit fahan beach, had to put the floaty suit on right away as the wind was freezing. i know its too early for the rays at this mark but decided to give it a try all the same, for you never know :roll: well it wasn't to be, baits keep coming back untouched. later as the tide was well into the drop i got a few good pulls but no hook ups, tried every bait i had even a few stuffed squid but no joy. half way into the session i got over half my bait gobbled up by a fecke'n monster of a dog :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: i was at the waters edge ready to cast and seen the brute at my gear, by the time i got to him he had wolfed down all my sand eels two mac; and all my squid B*****d :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: at the end up i did have a laugh about it, for i knew that when the owner of the dog was on their way home, the mute would probably boke it all up on their back seat :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: hes the big white gitt in the pic'. i gave it another few hours fishing before the cold finally got to me, for i couldn't even feel my feet anymore, so packed up an headed for home...

Hard luck Don. That's awful what happened to your bait :(
I would have loved to have seen your fish when you first spotted the dog at it! :shock:
I'm surprised you didn't give it a good boot up the rear end! (not that I agree with kicking dogs before anyone eats the face of me for saying that) :lol: Maybe you didn't because of how big it was, you probably would have lost your foot up in there! ( I could make a good photo edit out of that one!) :lol: :lol:

Unlucky with the blank. Frigging dog- that has almost happened to us a couple of times but we have been able to stop the dog before it gets to the bait. Swiftly followed by a look that could kill, aimed at the owner!!

I agree with you in that you would get some justice if the poor oul dog boked on the seats! :lol:

I remember fishing in Dun Laoighre at the band stand years ago using mac as bait.I couldnt find the mac and when i went looking i saw a huge rat pulling the the mackerel into a hole in the floor :cry: had to pack up and head home :cry: Also at a lenster league comp a dog piddled all over my rod and reel :( not nice, As the saying goes if you cant control your Dog it should be on a lead at all times.

The dog does looks huge in the photo Don and that was taken from a safe distance I notice! :lol: so no wonder you didn't give it a good kick up the backside! It would have ate your foot and came back for your leg!
It looks rather pleased with itself mind you, you'd nearly think it had a bit of a grin on it's face as if to say to you- "ha! I ate your bait and it was tasty and there's nothing you can do about it!" :lol:

Hard luck Don on the blank and the bait loss but I think that dog looks a bit queezy, hopefully it bokes all over her nice long pile carpet. Then it will get its just rewards ha ha.
