didn't fish cause had to go to dublin and didn't get home till all hours sat mornin.
However I think the sullivan brothers Tralee Bay SAC (Chris and David) had first and second. David was tellin me there was something 'unorthodox' bout the running of the comp :? :oops:

Think there was few dogs and small huss (to 6pound) caught on the day. didn't here anything bout ray.

thats o sullivan cronin you should know by now!!
turns out it was more of a family and friends comp we only found out this on arrival, sure it was organised by a few cork lads so confusion was to be expected :roll:
i'd 8 dogs and 2 huss one about5lb it was 83cm but real thick and very angry!! the other was only a pup a lad up the beach had one in the 90's. there was a few strap congers with a taste for fingers brought in aswell lots of fish on the day which is always a good thing.
lost a decent huss in that ledge that 'no fosh get lost in' bbut the 83 was a pb so it was a good day out. david in 2nd had 7 dogs including a poxy treble martin in fourth had 3dog and his 1st huss sandeel done the business all day for me
