Report:
gave bradan a text in the afternoon to see did he want to head out seeing that i had a few lugworm going, arrived down to the strand with a perfect surf for flatties. with little weed in the water after yesterdays gales it was fairly coloured though.. first to get the tap was bradan and in with a nice flounder, the game was on..
i soon followed with a nice flounder, but the lead was taken again by bradan with another flounder...i changed my size 2/0 one up one down for a size1 one up one down that i had made earlier on the path..
just a swell i did.. i managed to pull out a nice flounder of 33cm :D
putting me in the lead again.. as the tide ebbed we moved down onto the beach.. followed by three polish carrying a tourch :roll: .. i could see them from a distance as they shined there torch my way.. i turned around to look at them with my headlight on full beam.. all i could see were 3 arms covering eyes :lol: :lol: :lol: damn that silva L1 has a powerful beam :twisted: :twisted: around this time bradan caught a nice little doggie and demonstrated the roughness of a doggies skin on one of the unfortunate volunteers :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :lol:
by this time the fishing had gone so i tried to see if i could scratch one out.. bingo.. a nice little flattie of 20.5cm.. someone called it a night with the excuse of work in the morning(more like sick of me catching all the time) :twisted:
so the score goes
Kerry 3-13, Cork 1-09
:oops: :oops:
the real score goes
stevecrow74: 4 flounder
bradan: 2 flounder 1 doggie

Ah well some of us have to work in the morning Steve, just to keep you in the lifestyle you're accustomed to... :twisted:

Told you the bling would work, although it seemed to work better in daylight.

As for the score, I won't ask who had the biggest fish! :lol:
