Algae bloom

[Go Big or Go Home]

Hey folks,

Is Courtmac full of algae at the moment ?

[JimC]

I believe so. There is also a problem in Union Hall. Cork Harbour has been suffering a while now.

Am I right in assuming this kills off all types of lure fishing

[JimC]

I suppose it must as viz is seriously curtailed.... for humans anyway Certainly effects the bass in the harbour down this way.

Dont say that, I was going for bass lol, high viz lures all the way. So this algea must be in all parts of the water coloum. Do it wash out on the ebb? I will have to draw up a plan B and C if it doesn't.

[JimC]

it certainly does not wash out in areas of Cork Harbour. You might be OK in outer areas. You'll see straight away if the place is afflicted.

Its pretty bad I was there for 4 days and went around fishing in different marks and everywhere I go the algae is a pest. It was a challenge but it might be flushed out by the flush of water after this strong rains forecasted.
