People:Fisherking, Polaris and Me

Duration:noon to 5.30pm

Tide:low and rising

Weather:dry with WSW light wind

Bait:mac, lug, sandeel

Rigs:pullys, 2-3 hooks flappers, 2up 1 down

Results:flounders up to 42cm, colies, turbot, sea trout




Report:

All year long I was looking for a chance to meet with Fisherking from here, but something always on the way, weather or just personal bussines
And the day is up, we deside to fish a beach mark somewhere to be handy for him and me self
met up in desided point and after 10 min we are on the beach
shortly Brians rods were in the water and I follow him with my first rod
fro the very begining to the end fishing was hard enough with strong current and weeds
after 5min of my first cast i'v notise that my line is been dragged to close to Brians lines i got to recast, start to reel it and i thought i got lump of weeds i fell nothing just big weight, but when it get closer i saw there is something more than a weed and yeh a double shot of flounders one of them @36cm and the smaller one, happy days flounder is there no mater how bad condition is
took a quik foto, rebait hooks and cast again, line never stud still currents drag them straitgh away towards Brians lines and and had to recast again with the same story reel in and another flatie is on this time even bigger @ 39cm
Brian start to worry where his flounder are :?:
At his corrner was deep gulie, but it still no water due to tide is just turn back and we knew that when water will rish it it'l change everything
at low water most of fish came fro the distance and the problem was that Brians wedgers were in his another car and his lady was away with his stuff before his left his house :oops:
After an hour or so Polaris arrived one more angler join our frendly company :D
As flooding tide start run in fast enough that gulie where Brian was got flooded and at last he start to get fish aswell, all three of us were pulling flatie after flatie of course in theese conditions was hard to avoid tangles, strong current drags our lines on the top to another like three rod at the time and flaping fish makes even harder to release it, but nothing we could do te beach wasn't that big that we can spred out away from each other
When tide rish half way more spesies arrived, with one messy tangle with Brians rods i'v notise that something is on after that a small turbot is in my hand nice to see little change, but that wasn't it later on Brian have got nice little sea trout, it was hooked just nicely so it was released straight away, well done Brian spesie of the day
Polaris also had no time for relax fighting current and pulling a fish
At high water couple of nice size colies show up aswell
Im not that sure many fish we got, but I think there was around 40 flatties been cought between us
In theese conditions i believe that was great results, Well done lads
Around 5pm we start to pack up and we called it a day
Another great session with new peoples to meet, so roll on to next session lads
Lads tooked more pictures so they upload them later i'd say
Thanks guys for good session

Well done lads, some cracking Flounder there :D . Great report and photos, always good to meet up with lads of the site.
Must try and catch up some time in the new year when I am down west. There are a few of us that met up this year around connemara a couple of times for a session, and as always the banter was flying and good days out.
