Re: conamara tour day 2
Well done again,
you had a couple of nice days for it.. looks like the saying is true.. " BETTER TO BE LUCKY THEN GOOD"
Nothing like catching fish from a mark that you found yourself so fair play to you mate.

Re: conamara tour day 2
Hi Lucky,
Came back to have a look at your fish and they reminded me of a video that a chap called “Steve crowe” did awhile back… That name rings a bell,
I found the video great and has made life a little easier for me when unhooking flats.. I made up the simple tool Steve use’s in the video from stainless steel wire “didn’t make the one in the video” and was amazed at how easy the hook came out,
Well done Steve, If you haven’t seen it before then its well worth a look,
Enough said, cept nice pictures dude,

Re: conamara tour day 2
cracking session man, and still living up to the name
good result for this time of year, and in the daytime too
seen steve's vid before and it will improve the survival rate of a deep hooked flattie by 100% man, it's the bizz
