hi alan,it was well worth it,I was getting fed up at home,I didn't feel the cold too much,I didn't even think it had dropped so low

ha jerry nice one on the report... and some of the best pictures i have seen in a long time.... pitty it was only one... i wounder are you going to put that into your frezzer..... only joken mate......

,thanks Alan,I was happy to get one,I let him go and hopefully I will catch him again when he is a bit bigger then fish finger size

no doggies this time gerry did you forget to bring the lead and whistle man -6. dear god, we must all be mad out fishing in this weather

I thought I was mad until 4 people came down the pier and hoped on a speed boat to go out to one of the islands at 6pm,the drip on my nose was starting to freeze and i had shelter from the pier,I can only imagine how they felt by the time they got to the island,and they were heading straight in to the north wind
the water was a bit low at the pier for the dogs,the only dog I would like to see that night was a St Bernard with a flask on his collar

Nice pics gerry & blank saved happy days, must get out & try for some Pollock myself during the week if the back roads ever clear

thanks Brian,best of luck with the pollack and the roads,we have been lucky around clifden we didn't get the snow as bad as most places did,the roads were quite good
