Great fishing SKIP, do you reckon sandeel would have worked? Also, were the fish at distance or close-in?

dont think so pat. reason been the launce were fairly decomposed but then again possibly :?: i was supprised to find so many hardbacks in the stomachs of the fish i kept,unusual maybe or not :?: at distane by the way

Tried an East Cork beach myself last night. Didn't have the great fishing you had the other night but ended up with two cod (42, 52cm), two coalies (34, 33cm). and a flounder (31cm). I presume I was in the same spot as you? :wink:
