Well done matt69 hard to get anything from that beach, better chance of a bass from the rocks to the right all around the head behind the mobile home park. Best to get the spinning rod out but take xtra care fishing an incoming tide as some of the rocks are quite exposed.

well done matt, fish were small but at least you had a few, been thinking of going back to the home turf for a wee session so good to here a report from there ,still no fish showing in laytown ,spent four hours plugging and spinning today and again notin, must go back to portrane and give it a good go but for tomorrow im going to try a strand in carlingford. next time try around the back of the mussle beds just out past the tyres on the flood.good luck
