People: 5 starting off but ended up with 8

Duration: The 5 from 7.00 - 10.30

Tide: On the flood

Weather: North easterley

Bait: About everything

Rigs: About everything

Results: (The 5) 34 coalies and 2 bass

Report: Having fished Ballycrennane the night before in sh##e conditions this was an enjoyable night out. From the off the coalies were happy to join in the festive mood. With Steve, the winner with 12 coalies, having 7 fish in his first 3 casts. Most of the fish were caught on lug at about 60-80 mts.
Pete, the one with hair, and Gavin turned up halfway through the session and ended up tooooooooooo :lol: :cry: the far left of the beach. First time I've ever seen any body fish there before :shock: :? Nice session good to get back in to fish again.

Added foot note: fish sizes were Cork sizes round fish 30cm.

Slow down, he did have at least 1 fish. I'm sure when he reads this he will defend himself with honour :D or :oops:

MC, to clarify, it would have been 4 in a row :evil: :lol: 3 coalies, a large shore rockling of about 33cms that had stitched itself onto a 4/0 Pennell rig and a small flounder about 25cm for me. Gav had a couple of coalies too. Nice evening to be out and apart from the Guileen lads hogging the best bit of the beach :D , at least it made for a bit of banter.

Gav had the dubious honour of a double shot of coalies, 1 of which was attached to his rig which was then attached to about 60 metres of line. After much hauling, we retrieved another rig lost by Joe with another coalie attached..... :lol: With Joe being scottish and all, we deemed it only right to waive the finders keepers rule and gave him his rig back...

Couldn't have been in a worse place on the beach :roll: rocks and a bloody stream right next to me....still,i was just happy to be on the beach doing my bit to end Pete's run of blanks (he needed that bit of competion :lol: nice rockling to by the way)
Still i didn't blank (which is a good thing in such company and where we were located :) ),Pete added nice rockling to his list of fish for the year,Donal had a good laugh at where we were fishing and Joe got his rig back,i'd say not a bad evenings fishing.
