Got down to Clare to do a bit of grass cutting. Spent a few hours out on the rocks and no sign of any triggers....there was another post a while ago saying water temp was down 2C from this time last year I wonder if there is anything in this.

Now to add some fish:Cukoo,Ballan,Pollock,Coalie,Pouting,Conger,poor cod....mm needs more fish.. Mackerel, Dogie, Mullet Flounder...poor year so far....

Caught one very small Trigger today about 1 lb. on crab at a rock mark near The White Strand, Doonbeg.
Wrasse were scarce as well.
