WEED WATCH - Waterford & Cork

Was down in Ardnahinch at the weekend - weed free for far as I could see either side but little surf (with the west wind). Good luck! Couple of early cod caught down that way already I hear!

Does anyone know how the weed situation is around Ballyb / Ballyc beaches at the moment? Was hoping to fish out that direction in East Cork tomorrow evening.

night 13th to 14th,Ballyb no weed at all

Good man thanks for the info Oli

Ballyb / Ballyc beaches were clear of weed last night. Didn't catch any fish tho

.Was in ballycrowneen last night, good bit of weed about & probably worst now after the wind last night & today

youghal beach was full of it on saturday - really stringy stuff that would eventually gather and sink your line

the beachs in ballycotton bay are totally covered in weed,will not be fishible for at least the weekend if lucky,also ballybranagan is destroyed in it,all thick heavy kelp.

Ballycroneen no weed clean last night

Plenty "salad" in Ballycotton yesterday on 25th Oct.

tried a few beaches last night. started at inch, moved to ballybrannigan, onto ballycroneen, then garryvoe. all covered in huge piles of kelp, didnt bother trying anymore so back to ballycotton pier where i blanked, smashed a lead off a lamp post which knocked out the light for 10mins , snagged most casts, and lost 4 traces. should have stayed at home

lads i am heading to ferrypoint on friday if any of yous are down that way could yous let me know what the weed is like it along way from dublin to go not to be able to fish if the weed is bad

thanks
alan

ads i am heading to ferrypoint on friday

Hope it not too late - I was at Ferrypoint last night - there are mounds of rotting weed piled up at the end of the point. I tried a few casts over it out into the deep channel but was snagging lots of weed. Worse when reeling in as I was catching a lot of weed over the last 10 m or so

PS. No fish either .

Lads,

Anyone been fishing Garretstown/Garrylucas recently and know what the weed situation is there? Thinking about heading down tonight/tomorrow night....If I get no replies I'll go anyway and post back myself

Cheers

Was down there this evening.Theres heavy kelp in front of the dunes but seemed to thin out further across the beach.

fished ferrypoint 4/11 on the drop very heavy weed making fishing very hard no fish
fished youghal 4/11 on the rise only small bits lots of bites and a few fish

any one know what garyvoe like or ballybranigan or ballycroneen

Give John Warner or Donal D a bell, they were fishing in Garryvoe last night.

just back from a session in garryvoe,lots of snags on the beach...i.e-exposed turf beds,kelp stalks,lost some gear..but a gud few cod(2lb-3lb) about if you can avoid the snags...had tryed ballywilling earlier but covered in weed.

What time u were there ?
Was a real disaster in Youghal tonight, not even a bite in 5h session from 5pm, thought to head to Garrywoe but after 11 the weather turned really bad so headed back home instead ...
