Report only sticking this up as i said i would yesterday

there was a bit of weed on the beach - but loads and loads of mussel shells - something had been tearing up the sea bed?

first cast a whiting - one of the lads then had one - then quiet got dark thinking more fish would come on didnt happen

was a good solid breaker in front - needed a grip to stay in the gulley - nothing happening out far - odd piece of kelp showing

then the wind died and the weed came on - that matted light stuff thats a bas tard to get off - it would sink the line and then the kelp would get in

had a few more casts and picked up a rockling - but it was nearly 20mins to clear the weed - then had another cast another rockling - but again all the weed - took me nearly 30mins to sort the 2 rods before i could go home

absolute weed fest - pretty dire session - to make matters worse - my mate got done - for a light - was amber guard - no! - 2 points, €80 fine - great day out

aw jes mate, thats a stinker, esp the points as well.

hopefully next time will be better

The weed can be frustrating . At least you got out Brian & didn't blank
Bloody expensive fishing session for your mate

i know whats that mean weeds and all nightemere and also dear

At least ya went out mate, jasus wouldn't you think with the way things are the Guard would of let your mate off with a fine ???, although if it were traffic corp not a chance their own mothers hate them

jeese brian,,, i do'nt know whats worse the weed, points or fine deffo one to forget man . but on the bright side, at least you did'nt blank

Well Brian with the rain, weed and the hit on the way home what can I say... Just one of those nights.
Fair Play for heading out all the same as it lashed rain all evening, but on the bright side as Al said blank saved.
