Tried Trawee beach ( near Drummore West ) on 24 Dec . Unfishable due to heavy weed in the water altho there was very little sign of it on the beach itself .

22nd-24th April

Buncranna Pier is nearly always weed free in all directions

Fahan Marina and Lisfannon Beach the same - note - an old stone wall runs parallel to the marina about 50-70 yards out at high tide, loose alot of gear if you snag this

The north side of Mulroy bay in north Donegal is choked with weed. Went down to Tra na Rossan on Saturday, had been itching to fish it all week but it was totally unfishable.

Streedagh fishable on Saturday and Sunday, some very light weed but nothing major.
It ain't easy but it sure is simple!
