Myself, Mb.3 and my mate jon did :oops:

I've never seen people run off a beach as quick when the lightening came though :lol:

By the way we were fishing a North Dublin beach and the weed was horrendous :x

Managed a Bass around 3 pound though, We had a session on the southside earler that day and weed was crap too..Mark did manage a 7lb bass though :lol:
