as al and drew are hitting the west this weekend,and as drew had requested we find him brill,we hit a beach we know to see if they were still knocking around,well,i say "beach"..but after the storms of the last week,the mile long beautiful sandy beach that we were used to was completly gone,and a stony beach had replaced it
natures powers never ceases to amaze me...we got set up and with two rods fishing in close and two rods out we were covering all bases..now we never get big ammounts of fish of this beach,but the fish you do get are normally decent..but try as we might,nothing was showing,finally after two hours fishing,my far out rod tapped,and a nice schoolie seatrout was landed,quick measure and pic and he swam away to grow a bit....ten minutes later it was jasons turn and an identical trout was landed,measured and realeased....then..nothing.. this beach normally throws up a few decent flatties,including brill(small) and turbot and lunker flounder but it looks like they have moved ofshore now...finally as we were thinking of packing up i got one final seatrout,same size,so did not bother to measure it just stright back for another day....Report:
that beach has thrown up a LOT of trout this year..mostly in the 3-4lb range.along with some big flounder and turbot...with bonus small brill most times as well...but seatrout have been a regular bycatch on a lot of beaches this year...mostly the belmullet area mind...
we need something like that on the east coast particular North Dublin Beaches... some of the North Dublin beaches are just a disaster now -a -days shallows with very few features 
.so not a trip wasted. a few nice trout ... well done .
