Re: Antrim & Down 17th, 18th & 19th march LATE REPORT
thanks pete. it's hard to stick with it when you know there are smaller fish out there nibbling away at your big baits and you can see your mates reeling them in hand over fist. but on sunday it paid off with a nice plaice and coaliepete wrote:Thoroughly enjoyable read Al and plenty of fish porn pics too, fair play for sticking out with the big baits can be a lonely stance when lots of small fish coming in left right and centre.


as for the pics, i always like to get as many decent shots as possible for the report. i know we can all be a bit snobbish about it when it comes to smaller fish, but if that's all that's out there in front of you, it's all your gonna catch. and i reckon it's good for beginners to see what smaller examples of the species they are likely to catch look like too

i ai'nt too proud to admitt to a bit of tiddler bashing if that's all that's available



cheers conor. man but you've been powerfull quiet lately, i hope all is well matesaltydog wrote:Great read Al hope your on the mend and back on the beaches soon... Regards to Jordan

doubt it would be a bother for Jordan to get a few flats on the fly, would strongly recommend he gives it a go - or any other species for that matter! great sport
