last two weeks has been quite on that stretch, had a couple of small
bass and few dogs. my friend hooked into a hugh fish, straightened a 3/0 hook but alas lost it, blew hard all weekend wont be fishable for a few days due to weed will be trying it if weather alows this week, always best after a storm, codling did show in last week of october, should be on the move again from now on

well, i think we got the brunt of the weed at the masters on it, but having said that it wasnt too bad where we were to get through it, the only way i managed it was to use 65lb braid, i used a grip lead and as the surf lifted the weed and dropped it on the line it seemed to cut throught the most of the weed. still was a good variety of species caught on it that night asides the weed.

I was in Rostoonstown on the night of the masters and as far as I could see anyone that knew how to fish the venue in those conditions actually fared a lot better than those that choose to fish the gutter and close in where all the weed gathers. I fish this venue on a regular basis and after a blow its important to fish at distance and to keep rods high, this helps keep line above the weed.
Prior to the Masters many people voiced different views of the event and the anglers fishing. On the night in question I was amazed to see anglers fish the gutter cast after cast and loose rigs, have rods pulled out of rests etc, yet they did'nt even try a different approach. Perhaps too many of the anglers were not familiar with fishing in these conditions on a deep water mark. Look lads this is an excellent venue but try to fish it on calm nights and not after a gale.

yeah, hitting distance and keeping a high rod was key

id agree with you there weaver id never fished a beach like that before and wasnt even set up to experiment ,but the few tips a got from the lads that fished it well and caught fish has made me more determined to go back there and fish it again properly .
