TAC day:

Strong sunshine, strong/gusty NE-NW wind.

Started off on the far shore near the island on buzzers, nothing doing.
Up near the top bank/middle; wets/dries/buzzers/nymphs, nothing.
Far bank at the houses at 2pm; changed to fast glass and damsel, 1 in boat, dropped on (on the hang), boat partner: dark fritz body/olive marabou tail on a fast glass, picked up his 6.
Very tough day all round.

Another cold start to the day with that bl00dy North wind blowing!
Started off top end of the channel with nothing doing. Headed in about 50yds and missed a couple (buzzers), Danny also missed one.
Danny was 1st to hook up, then again....a couple of nice 3lber's released.
Headed down the bottom of the channel near the shoreline where we managed 5 each, Danny getting one about 7lb on a Diawl Bach.
I managed 2 to a yellow owl (CDC) straight off the top.
Not a bad...

Force 30 gale from the Direct North, bright.

Started at 2pm:

Started off with a few drifts into the sluices, no joy.
Hole o' the inch (when the Scottish Team bu99ered off), a couple of drifts, no joy.
Another drift into open water off St Serfs. nowt doing.

About 5pm, headed through the hoolie to the Green Isle, drifted past scart heading to factors, picked up 2 sprats on a skinny UV Viva (Di 5 just on the drop).
Same drift produced...

Overcast/sunny/hail: NNE-N-NNW

We started off with a drift from mid/south St Serfs drifting over to deeps, 3 drifts zigzag to east buoy, not a touch: Di7's pulling mini lures.

Headed to the hole of the inch (through the neck) to find 3 anchored boats Not much chance of a decent drift here. Set up from Portnook point coming into the hole but too short a drift before coming on an anchor.

Headed out into deeper water in line with the neck (12'). Colin...

TAC comp day:

NE-NW wind, pi$$ing rain, cold, sunny......

Dropped 3 near dam wall side on viva cormies, then snapped (bad cast), boat partner dropped one.
Eventually managed 1 on the cormie, nice O/W 3lb'er, fully finned and a lovely scrapper.
Motored to the middle far bank and touched another but now't else all day.
Rise come on for a good couple of hours but no joy with floater and CDC's, Shipmans or trad's.

Boat partner landed...
