headed out to a mark i fished last week as high tide was at 8 up a 6 to caught it and dusk to see what way coming into light what way the place fish well as mad my way down there could see a lot of activate in the water saw a fish or 2 jump and all i could see was sliver so thinking it was bass i was wrong the place was cover in mullet not lying when i say there could have been anything from 500-1000 fish don't know if these fish spawn inshore or out at sea but of course had no bread and through a few bits and pices at the them and they weren't interested.
only knock i got was the plaice 1.86Lbs and caught him on prawns first fish on them. :

intresting to hear about the mullet, i fished a make in the week and it was the same? 100s if not 1,000s of em all right in the surf and all along the tideline, mate recons they might have been feeding on herring roe as a lot of them spawn in the area........... nice plaice. ..........ever try that mark for rays?

Nice Plaice Shane!!! Was after them all yesterday from the boat but the only ones i saw were the ones being hauled up onto that old green trawler that does the harbour's deck!! Disgusted I was lol. Millions of Whitting though so the rods were hopping all day

caught him on prawns

Great plaice there - interesting to see that you got it on prawn.
That's a bait that I have rarely used - must give it a go the next time I am out.

Last winter a few of the codling I caught in Youghal were full of prawns and small shrimps so it would probably be a good bait for cod too.

Fine looking plaice there, I caught a few cod in youghal last year on prawns

willl its only my second time fishing the mark and its a pure bed of sand with 2 reefs on either side and its quit deep so i take you will get ray there but have not targeted them yet might later on in the week.
