Creevy pier and rocky shore to the Castle - 8th May

[alancooper]

People:Just me

Duration:3hrs 5-8pm

Tide:mid to fullish

Weather: cloudy and cold with gentle N breeze

Bait: fresh lug - tipped with mac

Rigs: 2 up 1 down and occasional mac flies

Results: not a nibble

Nice afternoon and a good high tide for 9pm - dug some local lug and tried mainly for anything on sand - with occasional spinning as a break. First 1.5 hours from rocks then as the breeze turned into a fresh northerly, retreated to the pier. Not even the crabs were taking the bait. Gave up before the dusk high tide. Has anyone caught anything following the JohnWest
marathon? - or should I wait and hope that the fish turn up maybe by June?
Alan.

It looks like things are still slow in the North - it would be intersting to know if the season is slow elsewhere.

currently fished south donegal, fishing on sand is good at the moment with some good flounder and sea trout been cought everytime im there
i wouldn't be fishing in creevy at summer, beaches around producing much better
