Good stuff! Gorgeous looking fish I have to say.

Sea Trout have a tendency to follow lures without taking them, so keep the retrieve steady, and don't strike into any small plucks. Only strike when you feel the weight of the fish and know it's hooked.

great fish welldone

Great result Chris - fair play. I was on North beach next day (just past yacht club) with almost identical setup to yourselves (ie bait and rigs) and blanked completely. Not even a nibble. Rough seas, strong current and NE winds didn't help but I'm not one for excuses :? I always reckoned Greystones beaches and pier fish better at night.

soc, to be honest i have the same feelings as urself and usually only ever fishing greystones in darkness, mostly the pier and north beach gave best reslts and the south beach never quite producing for us, but lately fishing on the south beach on a evening flooding tide has rewaded us with 40plus fish nearly on every 2-3 hour session.
