Fished Colimore on Sunday and Tuesday and Bray on Wednesday and didn't catch one or see anyone else catching one. I was out in the Bulloch Harbour boats just under two weeks ago and the water looked dirty to say the least. Could that be anything to do with the poor showing around Dublin? After all we just lost a pile of Blue flags due to poor water quality.
List 2010. fish

List 2011: less fish

2012: less fish again,
