ECR SAC MA#1, Toberpatrick, 5th Feb

[alby]

People:17 brave souls

Duration:5 - 9pm

Tide:rising

Weather:Gale force South Westerlay, horizontal rain

Bait:stacks of it

Rigs:The ones you read about in Sea Angler!

Results:2 flounder & plenty of disappointment!




Report:
Weather forecasters got it totally wrong. Fair play to all the lads who fished on in horrible conditions for very little reward, not a side word from anyone!

Brilliant win for Robbie (Trojan) in his first competition, also scooping longest flat pool, a tidy few quid won

[Sparkie]

I'm deff not just a nice weather fisherman, but I wouldve been turning back round and going home if I was giving them conditions!

Fair balls to all who fished and a big well done to the winner

[Trojan]

Cheers lads if there was every a case of beginners look it was last night .Its great to be apart of a club now with so many top class anglers and nice lads in general every one was very helpful and supportive.And a big thanks to John for the lift he dident know me from flint and gave me a lift there and back without hesitation as well as seasoned advice Alby as well for making me feel very welcome and giving me his spare shelter i would have been juiced without it p.s sorry about the sand all over it. .

[eeler]

well done on the win robbie, my reels don't sound the best today with all that sand getting blown up into them

[Trojan]

Cheers man, I just used the one fixed spool and its goosed the hole thing has just ceased up it might have something to do with me droping it 3 times once into the water the good thing though is i can get a new one with the few bob i fluked

[alby]

the good thing though is i can get a new one with the few bob i fluked

no fluke boss, one fish is a fluke, 2 is domination!!

[JOHN1]

my reels don't sound the best today with all that sand getting blown up into them

Thats why i only took one reel out of the box and that was a fixed spool and one rod to suit trouble free i had mentioned early on in comp to robbie the trouble lads would have with multies in them conditions

yea john, i was using a diawa windcast, its a nice reel to use and a good cast but i wont be taking it out in them conditions again, too many little holes and gaps where the sand got in and mixed with the greese.
