WEED WATCH - Limerick, Clare & Kerry

[Conger]

Was down around West Clare on Sunday with the Family and weed seemed to be everywhere

Banna, Ballyheigue and the blackrock fairly weedy at the moment.

Under the lighthouse in black head Co.Clare was nothing short of a tackle graveyard with all the weed this evening...and it seemed grand yesterday

[saving private brian]

walked banna beach co kerry today 05-06-12 and was weedy especially up near the carpark end.futher down to the left it was clearer but still odd lumps floating around

[mcslugger]

Fished rock marks between Lahinch and Spanish point on Saturday. Small floating weed made spinning difficult but manageable. 3 very small pollack caught and returned.

Catastrophic weed here in Dingle harbour, don't know about the north side of the peninsula but the wind is coming straight in from the west so I'd say Brandon could get hit. The Ballydavid side of Smerwick harbour is poor enough but I'd assume the opposite side is grand around Dún an Óir and Béal Bán. The swell is coming in strong over the next few days so it could carry in alot of weed with the westerly winds. I think the winds are changing to the south westerly's so the north side of the peninsula could avoid damage.

the extent of my knowledge at the moment.

Fishing Inch strand, Kerry on Friday night (1st Nov), rising tide and perfect conditions. Impossible to fish with weed. Would be interested to know when it clears if anyone else fishing there soon!

[corbyeire]

Weed only in first 20m in fanore - all on the hw mark from last spring - rod high survived it all - but then the swell became too much....

[fishantics]

Ballybunnion & Ballyheigue smothered in weed. large beds been blown in, its ongoing for the last few weeks. Pretty tough going for beach casting. Fenit is the go to there at the mo. Strand running a little better than the Bally's.

[johnson1]

fished few spots in dingle last week weed wasnt too bad,no takes during light but constant dogs every 2 mins at night on any bait

[beechtrawler]

iveragh penninsula area not a weed to be seen over the last weekend.

[beechtrawler]

anyone with news on the weed or lack of it around the iveragh penninsula? going down this weekend.

[beechtrawler]

Little or no weed on the usual beaches on the iveragh the last few days.

[corbyeire]

weed on the beach in fanore - but not in the water - no fish either

[corbyeire]

plenty of the stringy weed mid water at the flaggy shore - they seem to be doing a lot of defence work at the road near the little beach - water really silty and cloudy from it all - probably needs a while to settle down
