Report:
So after the show on Sat we decided to wet a line and try out some of the new bits we picked up. So that evening we decided that Wexford was worth a drive as we had nothing on. Left the house around 10.00 and arrived around 12.30 to a big rolling surf. But the current was very strong and we could not grip the bottom at all. Stayed for 2 hours and decided to head to another spot. Back on the road again and one hour later we arrived in Wicklow. Rods setup and out again with a similar surf there as well but we were now on high water. Just after full tide it calmed down a bit and was more fishable. We had planned to fish on into darkness but something came up and we had to head back. As I brought in the rods my first rod had a welcome surprise a sea scorpion, my first, (or was it a two legged frog?) and then on my second a codling to add to the species list for this year .
