#1 Post by cathald »

People:Me and Dylan Tom is missing in action

Duration:10am-6pm

Tide:1 hour before LW till about H/W

Weather:a bit breezy at times but nice enough

Bait:sandeel and mack

Rigs:Pullys and flappers

Results:me 5 rays 1 dog and a turbot
Dylan 1 ray




Report:Picked Dylan up this morning and headed for Leenan as we have not been there for a while but I wanted to see if there was any sigh of the raymonds
First cast a small ray,second cast a turbo and third cast another ray
I texted Tom to let him know what he was missing while he was on his dirty weekend in Dublin :lol: :lol:
Things went quite for a while then I picked up a dog and Dylan got his ray
Another few rays appeared for me but nothing big,just glad to see them
A couple of lads were down from Belfast fishing beside us and they got a nice wee turbot
Packed up around 6 and said our goodbyes to the lads and off we went for the spuds


A few photos
