From the other thread ([url]http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/bulletin%20board/viewtopic.php?t=10463[/url]), we have kstaff, colin and mickthepainter (and coaster???) all in. Looks like 12-14 people at the moment. Anyone else still to declare?

I'm going to make a suggestion here lads. As mentioned above, you will not be able to peg any more than 10 on Little Killary. Even ten would be very tight and you are taking it for granted that there will be no-one else fishing.
Rather than fishing Glassilaun (I think thats what its called) Beach, I think you would be better to move the comp down the road a couple of miles to Lettergesh. Glassilaun is not going to fish for you during the day.....full stop. It didnt fish at night either for that matter. Hold the comp at Lettergesh where there should at least be flats as was the case in the Connacht Gold Medal recently. Those who wish can then move to the rocks that evening. (bring the comp time forward to help that if needs be) Failing that they could hit the mark the following day.

I suggest we stick with the original plan. If 10 or less people show up, we'll fish Killary. If more than 10 show, we'll fish Glassilaun. Having consulted with a self-proclaimed expert on the location, it sounds like we should leave the time as is.
Any thoughts?

I make it 14 at the moment, but I'd prefer that we postpone a final decision until the day. I think if we end up with only 10, most people would prefer to fish Little Killary.

I think you should decide prior to the comp to be honest. Its unfair to get lads to travel and bring loads of unnecessary stuff or not have it as they had prepared for something else. Fishing the beach will require a totally different approach depending on conditions. If theres a surf running, it will be all flattie bashing. Little Killary is pure fish baits TBH, some packs of sandeel and mack and you are sorted. Fishing the beach you may want your array of worms etc. Not to mention totally different rigs etc too.

Time spent fishing is never time wasted...
2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks
