Report.

Derek and i set of to fish one of the many Atlantic front beach,s but found it to be unfishable because of high seas and floating kelp beds. So we then decided to go to Portsalon were the conditions would be better. We fished in front of the Knockalla toilets car park as the rocks provide a little bit of shelter from the dry sand being blasted along the beach. We did catch fish mostly counters in the 24 to 29cms size. Considering the adverse weather conditions we had a good days fishing.

nice fishing and good pics man. that wind must have been a nightmare for judging bites , but good to see you got your rewards. we've arrived at marks with gales blowing and just got back in the car and give it up as a bad job but after reading your report i'm wondering should we have stuck it out ah well, we live and learn
