Report:

Headed out from belfast around 8am and picked up the bro from a house party shortly after. We made a couple of stops to get fuel and breakfast.
got to fahan around 9.25am and quickly set up to fish rods about 50 yards and 30 yards. again both AA where used and havent failed me yet. within the second cast I struck into a very lively dogfish. with quick succesion i was pulling in dogfish for the next couple of hours until i seen the AA surf take a bigger lunge i reeled in a small thornback ray. i got another ray about half an hour followed by a dogfish. with the tide pushing right in, I changed tactics and starting scratching for flatties. I got a nice flounder of 30cm, it was a good fat flounder to. i fished for another hour and half and got 2 more species (Plaice & Dab).
A good days fishing with plenty of fish
