i was going to say - more fish in 3 hours than i would get in 3 months - more like a year

Rampent Wreckfish, where about did you fish? These are fantastic results! I'm based in Galway but normally I have to travel 60 miles there and 60 miles back in order to get 2-3 doggies.... Cheers, Jan

surely youve got them in salthill - or at least if you want a dog try there instead of going 60miles!

Ballyreen and it's about 60 kilometers, not miles. My mistake.

Nope, it's not a doggie that I am after but I’m always ending up getting them…

Btw, quite a few ppl told me that that you can get a conger off the slip road. Did you hear anything about that?

Hmmm.. A hole you say..

Sounds like a good enough reason to get this:

Guys, did any of you have ever came across of this nifty watch? Does it actually work and is it worth getting it?

Well don't ye galway boys talk some muck. Come on ye are giving galway anglers a bad name. How did this go from catching ray to talking about watching holes.

Anyway. Jparicka I am not going to give out the name of the beach because galway beaches have a tendency to get trawled after good shore fishing. Sorry.

Rampent Wreckfish, once again, congratulations on your fish. I wish I was once this lucky.

Nice fishing, especially considering the 29th October is still a few weeks away :P
