Report
we meet up for a wee throw at the thornies down at fahan, fishing was not great at all, but plenty of crack and banter as always :lol: :lol: :lol: in the whole session i only got one bite, i lifted into it and landed a nice thornie of 5 1/2lb. when i was holding the ray in the water to recover, just about two feet out, my feet started to sink a bit into the sand, then it turned into a suckion :shock: my two feet felt like they were being sucked down, i ended up stuck fast and no way was i able to get free :shock: :shock: cathal and dilon had to grab hold of me and haul me out :shock: a short time later cathal landed one at 4 1/2lb. after that hooks were coming back striped by crabs. at the start of the session we had bother trying to hold bottom for the rip of the currant was to strong, i ended up useing 8oz's to get a grip, when it seamed to ease of i went back to 5oz.
near the end of the session the wind got up and with the drissing rain blowing into us i packed up the gear and called it a day, me and tom headed for the cars, cathal and dilon stayed on for another while.
few pic's

Me and Dylan stayed until about 3.30 I'd say you's were just driving out when I got another one of 7.5lb and near the end a smaller one of 4lb the tide started to rip again so we pulled plant and left. when we were going we noticed the guys up the beach moving down to our spot and starting to fish so i guess they got nothing up the beach and seen us landing fish so moved in there

Although I had a BLANK day it was good to get out and have a go. The jokes and the banter more than made up for the blank and sure what the hell thats what fishing is all about after all. Well at least thats my story and I am sticking to it. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

when the tide is ripping through here it is possible to hold with lighter than 8 oz, use gemini leads with uptide inserts or springy/fixed wires, or the spingy wired impact leads
Not the BigPhil from Irish Angler mag, I'm the original, i swear!!!!
