First report not much to say Needed to get out to wet the line but was unsure about the weather (snowing out my window) packed up and headed out got down there seamed okay was setting up den the clouds turned and the snow started followed by hail,rain etc people where looking at me like i was a head banger was starting to think it myself untill some chap set up beside me got talkin to him sound lad, couldnt even tell if i was getting bites because of the wind once it started to get dark and the tide rising i landed the whiting on my last cast i got 2 small dabs

You were'nt the only one mental enough to be out yesterday, but we did had the good sense to call it a day after 3 hours

well done tony,good report,at least you were out,even if you are nuts the weather was rotten!

car said 15.5 degrees on sat at 11.30 and 3 degrees on sun at 12.30 ,the fish must be mighty confused ,was looking out at the snow yesterday thinking you,d need to be well wrapped up for that one and fair play to anyone who gave it a bash

Horrible weather i dont think my hands have ever felt that cold

fished the same beach myself yesterday bitterly cold glad i had the shelter with me

i was under the dart station fished from 5.30 to 8 managed 3 dabs 2 flounder and 2 whiting

Well done for sticking it out and getting a few fish.
I was away for the last week, got home Saturday and headed out fishing Sunday afternoon looking forward to a good session - we stopped for lunch on the way to the mark, came out of the restaurant and it was snowing

Set up on a beach in West Waterford and by the time I had baited the first hook my hands were numb with the wind chill - the coldest they have felt all winter . Stuck it out for about 5 hours without even a hint of a nibble - big fresh juicy lug and razor baits were coming back untouched. At least the fish had the sense to find a sheltered spot and lay low.

Brave man to be out.

Mad or not Great to get out in all types of weather conditions
