25th myself and james and john hit a rockmark in the achill area with our light spinning rods to try for a few pollock and anything else that fancied getting caught,arrived to find the whole coastline covered in nets
29th after john checked the iso map, we were off to a new mark,got there and it looked sweet,we set up two rods each,one out in search of ray and one in close for the flatties,there was a lot of weed in the tide line so we gave up on the flatties and concentrated on the ray,no luck altho we did get loads of doggies,final count,me 9 dogs,john 7 dogs,...oh and a visit from the local guards!
31st myself and jason decided on a turbot hunt, but our local hotspot was out, with very high spring tides, this is not a mark to fish with high spring tides,so an alternaite venue in connamara was picked,jason had not fished here before and i was confident we would get fish!two rods each out for flounder and turbot,the flounder obliged, the turbot did not!never saw surf as good on this beach,and there were fish out in the surf,but nothing but flounder were caught, the biggest 28cm the smallest 13cm!
