less of the OLD eh..

good day alright, that thorny secured my second place in the comp on the very last lift of the competition, more thornies were caught after that too, good to see plenty of them about,
I didnt have many in numbers but i did have plenty of species though..
some good fish were landed and i cant wait till the next one..

Sound's like a cracking day out and fair play to the Skipper and Crew men.

Good report & photos - hopefully more to come from the lads on this who fished the day......Lads?

it was a cracking day out,with the weather gods smiling on us,sun splitting the deck,and a lake like sea..flat calm,before the comp officially started we went mackie bashing,and a few were got,but not in any numbers,the first drift of the comp producing loads of coalies and pollock for nearly everyone,with steve concentrating on other species,and suceeding! four cookoo wrasse in quick sucession, after maxing my pollock quota i changed rigs and pout and poor cod was the result..even though i REALLY wanted a cookoo! we changed marks,and the fishing steadied...with fish being landed,but not in the same numbers,martin got a nice haddock,and hopes were lifted,but alas it was the only one,then we hit grey gunard,small ones,but new species... ...another drift over a new spot did not produce much,and the last mark of the day was hit,with thornies being the target,dan got the first,then i got a run,i left it too long and then steves rod rattled...but so did mine! same bloody fish!! two hooks one fish..so it was disqualified as a counter in the comp....that turner will do ANYTHING to win a comp! he finally got HIS on the last drop of the comp...and beat me by ONE POINT CONGRATS to dan sweeney for winning the first Galway Buccaneers boat comp of the year.....bring on the next one!
