Report:

tried both piers , pretty rough, but small tide, not so much as a bite, even the Crabs, seemed to be hiding. seal at innishcrone, right in the harbour didn't help

Used to get lots of whiting to mackerel strips on calm frosty nights up to and around full tide. The crabs used be less of a problem this time of year but I guess its so mild the buggers are still active. Luminous beads work wonders for the whiting on booms with float beads, it also makes it hard for the crabs to get the bait.

I was at Easkey peir until about 4pm and had much the same result as yourself. Although i did catch a cold so that was something. Wasn't a great day for fishing. I've been out the last 2 weeks and blankled both times have to catch something soon or I'll develop a complex.

Spent a few hours at inishcrowne pier the other night and had almost a dozn crab that even held on the the bait or the naked hook when I landed them.

Nasty little buggers!

I'll try the beach this weekend so hopefully I'll have more luck!

fished inniscrone 3 times since that report, including this evening for about 1 1/2 hrs

all around low water, and all blanks, the only luck i have had there has been high slack and a few hours after

had a few hrs off Augris head pier last week - 1 whiting about 12" saved the day there

Also had a go on the rocks east of Easkey atoday bout 3--4.30 the only 'fish' i seen were the pod of Dolphins, that came past about 30ft from the shore
