We went to two wrecks, both had nets on them, we stayed with the second wreck as the nets were set off the wreck.


These two were caught there

No, one at a time was hard enough
Both taken on shads about 60 turns from the bottom

I can imagine that. Than it means that you had twice as much fun since you fought big fish twice :)

Well done!

It was broken while out with Colin Barnes, one of the reasons why it was being mentioned on this thread.

Hello Pat,
Was fairly lumpy out there, with a stiff northeast breeze. Colin tried to anchor a few times but the elements beat his best efforts. Filled the bottom of a fish box with mack for bait, that was it :cry:

Hope ye have a better day out in June.

Still an enjoyable few hours, we got plenty sea air and caught dinner. Colin's chat makes you hungry for the next chance.
