Saved the blank ( :oops: ) with a counting flounder on the last cast :D

Great day out tho, good turnout and well done to the lads, especially after last night! I'm still hungover..... :roll:
Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!

Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend, I must say. Great auld night last night too it has to be said :wink:

Funny buzzing in Steves ear for about 2 hours about the 1 cm gap... Twas funny until JP hauled in a 32 cm flounder with 20 minutes to go and over took both of us....

Spare a thought for poor old Pete who, after I had secured bragging rights from both the night before and the days fishing had to tolerate a wall of abuse following his "professional bait digger" slur in IA the whole way back to cork... :lol: Karma....I love it.

Forgot to mention, I had 2 Turbot, one of 27cm and one of 23cm. Both fish took big bunches of maddies and small whites fished on long snooded 3 hook flappers to size 4 pint hooks fished just in front of where the waves began to break.
