fahan/paddy's day

[fishermannum1]

People me, bigbadtom and beachcaster called down

Duration 10.am/2.15pm

Tide dropping

Weather good but windy

Bait mac/squid/sandeels, tom also had lug

Rigs me, pully's tom 3 hook flapper

Results me "BLANKETY BLANK" tom 2 flounder




Report meet up with tom at the marina and we fished fahan beach, mainly to check if the thornie's have arrived yet, they are showing up on other marks on up the swilly, so was hoping that they have reached fahan. but no joy, not even a sniff of one. tom landed two flounder and saved the blank, john (beachcaster) landed down and we had a good yap and bit of banter, but still no signs of any thornie's making an appearance, then i got a good solid pull on one of my rods, a few seconds later another good hit, but no hook up. after that it was just wee taps every so ofen. at the end up i knew we were just floging a dead horse, so we packed up and headed for home, will give the beach another throw in a few weeks time to check it again...

First flounder was 18cms while second one was foul hooked and about 16cms. Fishing not hectic but the banter and the craic was mighty.

cheer's guys, the fishing was bleak to say the least. fishing at different distances to cover the channel but no joy at all, but sure it was a day out, with good company and good banter...

unlucky lads, but always worth a chuck just to see. when it fishes, it fishes well just not at the moment
