Re: Louisburgh 3 weeks ago!!
awesome turbot
fished the beach there before , but only ever had a big spider crab off it - looks a good spot tho, fished the little harbour, fishing into the harbour itself - usually good for a few flounder, and doggies and coalies afterdark.
apparently white strand thows up a few turbos as well

Re: Louisburgh 3 weeks ago!!
Thats a real beauty
....and wasnt it a very considerate fish to wait until you'd finished your lunch? The cheeky little feckers I get always wait for the moment the mug of coffee is at my lips

Re: Louisburgh 3 weeks ago!!
as you can see the turbot is the same size as Paddy's head which makes it 3 metres long and 158lbs weight . Seriously though I was delighted to see Paddy catch this fish . Hopefully he'll put up a report featuring the lovely 3 beard rockling from last week soon , well done on that too Paddycorbyeire wrote:nice turbot - what lenght was it?
