cleaning plugs
Hi
Just out of curiousity do you fish Annestown often, and if so where do you prefer? I alwasy keep some metals (flying Cs, sprats etc) for windy days when you can not get the plugs to travel. I also found that taking the treble off the plugs and replacing them with singles or doubles helps too...

Time spent fishing is never time wasted...
2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks

Kieran,
I would fish there as regularly as I can as its fairly local to home, up the hill and down the steep bank, between the headland and the island when the tide is in fully can be fun as you can cast out to deeper water or back towards shallower water. Ground is clean with rocks, boulders around headland to the left. Probably not the best place to go if you need back up species though. What coaster says is spot on.
