Report: have the thornbacks really all gone , I was catching them later than this last year we had planned to go to a beach mark but it got quite blustery and i felt lazy so we opted for the shelter of the pier hoping to land a few thornies, this mark will normally produce the goods for us. I had a very poor session but at least didnt blank, not a single catch on my worm baits just kept getting stripped , even with the rag tipped of with squid the hooks kept coming back with squid but worms stripped I'm telling ya someone is educating them crabs. Mick at least got a few species, with a coalie of about 1lb.

well you can always relay on the doggie's to save a blank
as for the thornie's its the same story up around fahan, they seem to be moving out towards the mouth of the swilly already. this time last year i was still catching them at fahan, now at fahan its doggie heaven
nice wee session lcl

could be just one of those days we all get them,next time out you will haul them in,and you beat the blank anyway

unlucky with the thornies man but at least you got a few fish and beat the blank
