Re: east cork 1/2/11
Well done mate nice to hear of a nice session at the bass. One of that flounder's must have been a sole, it looks so long and thin, to be serious he is really long and thing though, or is it just the way the pic came out?

Re: east cork 1/2/11
Apologies Peakle, my mistake, obviously with seanie's post just above mine I got confused! I tend to get excited when I see some fine bass and start getting all flusterd when I think of all the wasted hours with no results. Fine catch anyway, Well done!
