Well Lads have to say pure class, great report, great video and really good results for this time of year (Bass, Flounder and Trout who could complain at that anytime of the year), not to mention a few beverages..... :D
Well done to all, really enjoyed the report and Vid.
Count me in for the May session... :D

great meeting you too man. half the fun of travelling around all over ireland is getting to meet the lads off the site. no matter where we go it's always good to meet fellow anglers off the site. and no matter how good your angling knowledge might be you can always pick up tips and tricks off other lads :wink: :D :D

yeah man, the reason drew got the vide out was that there was a queue of 20 cars behind us in a tail back. that wee old woman in front of us was doing 10mph on a road you were allowed to do 50mph on!!! the cyclist was actually pulling away from her and i had some impatient muppet sitting on my back bumper. if he had have been any closer, he would have been in my boot! it was like 2 polar opposites with captain slow in front of us (who was about a week older than moses) and an accident waiting to happen stuck up our toosh!!! so i just took the advantage of the first stretch of straight road to distance ourselves from what was an accident waiting to happen. god only knows how the wee old woman dealt with the moron behind me if he was stuck to her bumper :shock: . some people have no patients at all :roll: .
