best nights fishing in a long time and with the weather being kind to us made it a joy to be out.

good man barto.

good to get a few fish
did you fish the rocks or the beach

30 + are good whiting. seems to be a surge in bigger whiting around had simular results in wicklow couple of nights ago.

i think all the fish are about 2 months behind themselves

Was it the beach or the rocks? I've nerver caught much from the beach but some decent ones from the rocks

[Al and Jordan]

well done barto, 30cm+ whiting not bad at all mate

Well done barto,

interesting what john 1 said about the fish being 2 mths behind themselves, could be some truth in it, not sure myself just an observation from the site reports, but it seems the bass are staying longer each year, possibly because the water temp is a bit warmer, maybe that means the cod and coalies etc are staying out because the temp is a bit too warm, as the water temps drop in feb, mar we may see more cod coalies moving into our waters.

or esle the trawlers have just hoovered them all up.

we would have fished the rocks but there were a few lads there,so we fished the beach about 100mts up from the rocks.
