Weather: Mayo (ie perpetual hurricane)

Bait: fresh mack , squid , earthworms

Rigs: flappers

Results: 1 flounder (39cm), ( buckets of mack, 1 launce.)




Report:

up early and Finally got a few hrs on the boat to stock up on mack , fair play to Donal on the Leah at Killala - another group meant to be goin had canceled - but he went out anyway with just me - real gentleman - lots of macks, and donal foulhooked a launce which was added to the days bait.

with the macks iced up tried a beach where i had saw lots of lug in july - place had totally changed - and barely a lug in sight. had a few casts but nada

went scouting - hit a very nice beach, - a bit early - maybe last hr of the drop - nothing happened till the tide started pushing and got a crackin 39cm flounder on mack and squid, gave it another good while - lots of Gulls diving - just- out of casting range ( about 1,000 yards away ) baits were getting stripped - not sure if it was crabs or mini fish - didnt land any crabs or see any bites , conditions looked good - but i realised i was knackered, my arm hurt from hauling mackies, and i still had a fair drive home - so called it a day and crawled home-

heres the blank saving flounder - 4oz weight beside him for scale ,

Good work, nice fishie!"

I have no record of you applying for a visa....

Think I can guess the lug beach all right, I was a couple of miles up water in the late afternoon for a (very) short session myself. Water was flat calm and pure weed soup, result zilch despite a decent sea trout doing some acrobatics 20ft out from me while I was setting up...
