[toonboymc]

Fished tourney from 11-5 today
Toonboymc. Codfather 145. Mad rob. Fishingmark. Young don. The gnome ( Paul) and joe Montgomery ad rob got a nice dab just before the comp started but he is trying to say its a Dover sole lol
It was very windy and you could not detect any bites to be honest but there was plenty of fish caught
1st cast and mark has a crack off lost his gear then he set up again and the wind blew his rod stand over and his rod smashed against the concrete he was having a mare then a coalie he had dropped off as it was coming over the wall
Joe stormed into the lead with a nice double shot of plaice the biggest being 33 cm
Then he got another double shot of plaice what a fella
Then Paul the gnome got a nice plaice of 34 cm and a new species for him which christened his new tip tornado and put him in the lead

Then joe got another plaice of 35 cm putting him back in the lead

Then I got 2 plaice off the belt not as big but a new species for me
Mad rob got a nice pollack on the small rod of about a pound then I got a dragonette
i reeled in and there was something on the end mark looked over its a lobster only for it to drop off coming up the wall with it leaving one of its claws on the hook devostsated i was its my favourite food
Then Codfather pulled in a nice plaice of 38 cm putting him in the lead and which proved to be the winner and giving him £14 winning which will be spent in Tunisia next week lucky bugger

Tourney finished but we fished on mark caught a makki on ragworm to save his blank but Paul the gnome caught his 1st wrasse and his 1st codling of about 1 1/2 lb a nice clean fish
stopped fishing at 7 with the wind still howling away

Well done lads, sounds like the Gnome enjoyed the session with his new rod, always nice to christen it on the first trip with a few fish

[Pete from shields]

Another cracking report toonboy, sounds like an excellent session and yous deserved to have some good fish fishing in that weather. I'll have to come along to one of these comps some time like they sound like a hoot, sounds like you had a proper mare though Mark mate unlucky.

Well done to Steve on his first win.
Not the best day for me fishing wise, I knew it wasn't going to be good with that crack off on my first cast.
The wind was a nightmare but great craic as always.
Paul looks like he's trying to tear that wrasse in half in the photo!
