Memories of Wexford - A visitor in the dark.

Jim Hendrick and I are standing shoulder to shoulder the in pitch darkness.

The moon obscured by clouds, water is waist deep and we are following a now well-oiled routine.

"Cast over there" lure is retrieved, weed removed,

"Cast at that rock" lure is retrieved, weed removed,

Cast at that rock" lure is retrieved, "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ?!?!?

We both take a step back in the darkness as a head appears next to us bobbing around enquiringly as it is looks around for the "fish" that mysteriously disapeared into thin air.

"Its an Otter"!! "No its too Big" "Its a seal" !! "No its too small"!!

"Seal pup"? "It must be"

"Shoo Shoo" "Wait let me get my camera" flash! flash! flash! the head turns and slips below the surface never to be seen again, we resume our routine

"Cast over there" lure is retrieved, FISH ON" !! .....................................
