Hi all,
my query related to wind direction and the resulting weed it can cause to make for a not to pleasant fishing experience.
i was down in youghal recently looking for a cod or two with no luck apart from some doggies and flatties, i then travelled home via ballyteige/furlongs lane near kilmore quay not much doing for me.
On both locations there was lots and lots of weed making the fishing very diffiicult,for future occasions when i am planning a trip specifically to youghal and the south wexford beaches what wind direction should i look out for that will generate alot of weed on the beaches/estuaries and so prevent me from travelling and what wind direction would make traveling more favourable
Many thanks in advance
B-T.

Re: wind direction / weed query
yea you would be safe enough, even if you get a bit of weed you can still fish - the southerly brings the rafts of it

Re: wind direction / weed query
if you think about it the southerly gets to kick up around the SE corner there in rosslare - the currents also run north on the fill there - bad combination when its rough
