Results
Turbot, flounder, sea trout, bass, dogs

Tried a local beach saturday evening for a few sea trout. Armed myself with a few tope traces as well as my last session here was cut short when they made short work of all my traces. First cast into the surf resulted in a nice turbot, an undersize turbot and a sea trout. Continued that way for the next few hours with doubles or trebles most casts mostly turbot averaging around 1lb and trout from 1 to 2 lb with the odd flounder mixed in. Right on dusk a nice slack line bite at distance resulted in my three hook clipped being reduced to a one hook, minus lead and all. The wire traces went out but just resulted in dogs every cast so I reverted to plan A and went back to fishing in the surf. The dogs had moved in here also though and apart from a small schoolie that was it. Had packed everything up when I wound in my last cast which had a double dog and a 5 and half pound sea trout!
Returned on Monday night and a similar story although the quality was a bit down on Saturday. Was hoping for a few bass as the surf was good and I thought the dogs might stay away but they were as busy as ever.

Well done thats a great haul. That's a cracker of a sea trout. I haven't had a turbot this year hope to try for one next even the small one would do. Do you find the beach marks fish better for tope at low tide. I have a south Sligo mark that I'm going to try and I've been told that low tide is best.
