I think I'd need a bigger boat

Fished sorrento point this morn, last night, the night before that, the night before that, the night that, the night before that, and the night before that....nothing!

Fished Colimore on Sunday and Tuesday and Bray on Wednesday and didn't catch one or see anyone else catching one. I was out in the Bulloch Harbour boats just under two weeks ago and the water looked dirty to say the least. Could that be anything to do with the poor showing around Dublin? After all we just lost a pile of Blue flags due to poor water quality.

Plenty of macks been caught off the quays at Cobh all week. Also breaking off East Ferry Marina the last two nights.
