Heard about that Eoghan, saw a picture too, massive :shock:

Was one of several caught the weekend of the SAI comp in Dunree (March 24), may have been a few more caught since too?? Enjoy Dingle, can't wait to get down again, I'm taking a 5 day weekend down there the weekend of the SAI Comp, living for it!!

Holy crap 16Ib - savage fish. Do you know if it was returned...?
Hope it was. Not far away from the spawning months and a fish that size was no doubt a female but thats another argument for another thread. :-)

As for fishing down there I will be heading down Thursday 19th after work and retruning on the Monday evening. Tides are high approx 6,7,8 and 9 over the four days so two sessions a day, one early morning and one evening. I also have a mark that fishes well down there on a low tide with surface poppers so if I have the energy I will get 3 sessions in.
My idea of heaven...!

Will also have my surf board so the afternoon session could be sacrificed for a couple of hours on brandon...!
