Re: ECR MA#5, Ballymoney Beach, 28th August
to say it was pleasant weather is an understatment i put my fleece on at 11pm
i was pegged in the middle and managed an 81 cm smoothy a dog and a whiting and couldnt get a flat to save my life
still it was great to see some rod bending action was delighted to see brendan wolloping off his smoothy and getting the longest round by a few cm from me and alby
good selection of speices big suprise was not one bass
maybe it was just too calm

Well done Bren on the 83cm. Knew I peaked to soon
Think it was to calm for alot to turn up not just bass. Like the promise of codling. Who was on about that again
Myself and Kev had a terrible time at the end pegs with a ledge that took rigs, weights and hooks every other cast. Still good fun with a highlight of mine getting a lefty flounder. Forgot to take a pic though!

Re: ECR MA#5, Ballymoney Beach, 28th August
really enjoyed this comp some mix of species, 2 huss in three casts on the east coast has to be my highlight of the year. albys double smoothy put every one 160 points behind in one cast and they played an important role in the placings, pity i couldnt get one

[i][b][color=#0000BF] best advice for catching species is girls dont like fishing and its hard to catch fish when you sell all your gear'[/color][/b][/i]
