Ack.

#1 Post by Tanglerat »

ack ack ack.

Had a sea trout hit, jump and spit the lure on me today, in front of a couple of dozen people watching. Lovely fish, i'd estimate 3 lbs or so.

The shame..... :oops:

Still, now I know they like the looks of that yo-zuri.

No shame in that Tanglerat, a guy recently said to me, a Co Down man I met on a mark up here, "if sea trout werent called sea trout they should be called Houdini trout."

Bad luck, they are teasers!

You know those bad words you shout out involuntarily when something like that happens? :shock:

Well, this happened in front of a Friary with a bunch of nuns and friars within earshot....... :oops:

Haha, but I wouldn't be too worried about hurting their sensibilities, they surely have witnessed worse before, according to the media that is :wink:
