Its a funny old game - i remember from university days this phrase CPUE and i know its changed greatly over the decades in relation to shore angling
15th, I did the 20 min drive to my nearest beach, on a neap, no surf, dead - more in an effort to get out of the house and i hadnt fished in weeks with storms and comps falling to the virus
conditions very poor and even poorer bait but had a sea trout from the first cast mid 20s - happy out - usually a blank or a few flounder here
then another 39cm - happy days and another 31
in between i had a flounder 27 and 33 cm - what a result for little effort
then i planned a trip south to kerry for spurs and huss - 4 hours driving down, 5 hours blank on a rock mark and then 3 hours on a beach for two mid 20s coalies
kip in the van and up early and another beach session - 3 small founders
then back to the rock mark, two more lads there with tales of an 18lb the day before...
another 5 hours and not a sausage between the 3 of us
4 hours home - think the next session will be local
or not depending on lock down
took a pic of one of the flounder that had these mad blue specs over the eye, but the phone camera didnt pick it up - ever see that before
