Is anyone fishing at the moment anywhere on the south coast?? Particularly s.wexford.
Is it fish-able with these strong winds? Are there weed issues? Anybody down there planning to head out this week or weekend..?
Would appreciate some first-hand advice as a couple of us plan to head down there this weekend to fish the shore. Just looking opinions or ideas with regard to conditions.
PMs welcome
Thanks in advance

http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/roches_point Youghal would come under the same area
4mt tides would make it hard going up the estuaries of Youghal and Monkstown.

Re: South Coast - fishing conditions this week ?
This weekend looks very bad , very strong winds.

Looks better for a little bit on Monday then strong winds again Monday night.
Tuesday looks calmer. I reckon I might try and fish a beach mark Tuesday evening high tide is at about 9pm and wind doesn't look bad then.

Woke up this morning- the first time the wind has dropped since the middle if last week. I reckon the fishing should be good today and excellent this evening on the beach marks.And I have to work

Re: South Coast - fishing conditions this week ?
all ill say shortcircuit is that the forecasts had thursday nice with clear skies, low winds and no rainshortcircuit wrote:Tomorrow looks good , wind dying well back . . .
however on the beach yesterday evening there was gusting wind, rain horizontally at times and grey clouds all over
the moon phase would have you at home - but i sneaked a silver fella on a west coast beach yesterday after lw
so all the permutations etc. the best thing to do is just get out when you can - otherwise youll be waiting and waiting for the perfect conditions
half the time you get out in the them and the fishing is pants
