I get the impression this Youghal place is a bit over-rated at times! It's always good to get something different at a mark.

Wonder if its a seasonal thing?
Dabs are odd, I've had sessions when the reached plague proportions on a few sheltered Mayo beaches in April and not seen them the rest of the year...
