Where exactly at Fahan were you fishing? At the marina or at the beach? Were you not pestered with boats/jetskis?

Fished on the beach and yep it was a bit of an in out session
john scotts rod was the only one pulled over by a poser in a speed boat, i know they have to use the channel to get in and out but this guy was almost on the beach, but i suppose thats one of the problems of fishing a usually prolific area, we`re ofF to try cushendun beach tonight to see whats about up there, ill post a report when im home.
