Richie you say that your "Just back from Greystones, got 15 on the beach using a Kilty."
Well done, congrats! Just one questions, I'm assuming that was at the end of the South Beach? (close to Ballygannon). I hear that some Sea Bass have been caught there in the last 10 days or so. Would appreciate 'a steer' on this as I'm thinking of heading out this evening or tomorrow... :lol:

Hi all,
went out yesterday in greystones, appr. 100 mackarel and 3 small cods on feather. Plenty everywhere, from 100-1000 meters from the Shoreline. ( not tried closer...)
I am sure, that in harbour was caught as well, lots of people were on the pier and rocks around Greystones.

Cheers!

Zoltan
