Report:

Arrived at the mark thankful that I'd stocked up on a nice, fat breakie roll. The wind was howlin and the waves were roarin'.
Knew I'd need that extra fuel to keep me goin'. Bites were scarce and difficult to detect with the conditions. Got a decent rattle on the new BZE. Very small Coalie for my troubles. Can't have been more than 10cm but first one of the year and blank saved, no complaints. Nothing after that so decided to stick on the pulley pennel with a big flap of mack. Maybe I could catch one of eyesreilly's bass No joy. One small flounder completed the day as me dinner started to beckon.

Hello to David whom we met while trying to dodge the waves crashing onto the mark

Hola Senor, coalies can give a decent rattle alright, friend of mine got a 40 cm one on thursday night there, were you on the beach or the rocks?. I was lucky to come across two bass there within a couple of weeks of one another after travelling far and wide all summer to get one .

I was staying in Wicklow at the weekend and to my surprise I asked my wife did she fancy hitting the beach for an hour and she said yes! There were a couple of others fishing but I blanked! Didn't mind I was glad to have got the chance and seeing that she is 6 months pregnant I was very lucky to have made it too the beach.

Yeah mad wind on sunday!! me on the other side got 2 whitings 1 of theme was smaller than the hook i used the other was nice! Bait: mackerel & sandeel! i should be down there on sat morning try to catch my big one as usually!! !! hee hee
