BALLYBRANINGAN/BALLYCRONEEN

?. its been a good year in and around dungarvan, plenty of schoolies down the cunnigar, everywere else fished very well, when the weather was settled i seen 1000s sum days, also lots of dubbles landed locally.

If it's any help I was fishing in the Bantry area today and had 4 Bass to 6lb on an Illex Bonnie and
Missed about a dozen and I also had a 8lb Pollock on a SG sandeel, so they are out there.

Thats good to hear at least its not all doom and gloom 8lb pollock is a great fish

Worst year beach fishing around Cork for me since I took up the sport. I've fished the usual spots with lures, baits on what would have been judged in the past to be perfect conditions, sea state, tides etc with the best of bait. I haven't fished anywhere near as often as I would have granted but to say results have been poor would be somewhat understating it. Havent been out in a month or two and hoping to rectify that this evening weather permitting but the results earlier in the year would have you horsing the gear on DoneDeal and taking up golf.

jez not sounding good i was planing on heading out tonight for the first time in around 10 months .
what way have the summer species bream garfish etc.. has there been any increase in the amount of these been caught or seen due to high water temp's?
