the place fished out. hoping its this weekend but if not then most
definetly next week............................................................

cheers minty, hope you're back to your old self soon enough mate. this weekend is looking grim all over 
you'd be loaded again in no time. we'll probably not get out again now until next wednesday or thursday ourselves, but we'll leave some out there for ya mate

Why couldnt I have got those 2 species I need them for my list lol.
That 5 beard is a good size and quite dark looking the two I caught last year were much lighter in colour.
Good size doggie as well nice one. Guess you didnt use all the bait up from the other night then.

thanks jonny, our bait freezer is better stocked than most tackle shops
the doggie took the top hook on a 3 hook flapper on a little sliver of squid 
and i almost missed the id on the 5 beardy 
thought he was just another shorey at first and only spotted the extra barbles on second glance 
but like you say, he was a lot darker than the one i got here last year. i'll add the pic. we're only in the door from a 4hr run at bangor, jordan was feeling a bit annoyed at all my late mid week sessions he could'nt make because of school it was whiting city, jordan got 26 in the end, so thats him sorted with his fishing fix for another couple of days . dawsey arrived after us and got a dose of em too before we all headed for home and HEAT 
it was freezing
