Your wise man for not going south last night rodger ,everything looked perfect till we put our lines in
the water

the weed was terrible ,john had 3 casts and lost 3 sets of gear so we packed up and
headed back up to try a e/coast beach, but all we ended up doind after four and half hours driving was going home
we were knackered

anyway fair play to you for getting a couple of codling for the dindins

holey god mitch that was a long haul to haul weed

most annoying when that happens !!!

hi gillaroo long time no parley

i,m grand just back from work

its either a feast or a feckin famine!!!bit like the fishing at the moment!!!!!!(biggest whiting was about 18 cm)

i set up my gear down on the beach at the mens swimming spot as it was full to the brim with sand instead of water , a load of teenagers sat down behind me to drink their can of carlesberg each after 5 min of bla bla bla

i headed futher up the beach, i go fishing to get away from teenagers !!!!!!!!!baaa humbug !

kinda glad i did !

Well done on the codling rodge!!! As I passed greystones exit on the n11 yesterday evening, I thought to myself 'will I just stop off here instead?' but decided against it and went further afield - wish I hadn't! Will post up report later........
