Report:
Another un-inspiring trip to a Louth beach. I was disappointed to find one of my favourite lug beds nearby devastated by the recent stormy weather but eventually managed to dig enough elsewhere for a session. Sadly it turned out to be more than enough as the dogfish was the only bite of the night. Surprisingly, it took lug in preference to the mackerel. Looking forward to hitting Donegal again! You don't really want a picture of a doggie do you?

At least ya got a Doggie & beat the blank!!!

I love piccies of Doggies they are always so camera shy

It seems to me that the closer you get to sellafield the fewer the fish. I took a walk up a beach near Carlingford with the kids this time last year. There was virtually no sign of marine life on or off the beach. No shell fish, crabs and very few sea birds. Was the doggie glowing in the dark?

good man John, id call that a good session, im fishing beaches in louth regulary and ive never even heard of a doggie been got off them, bass, flats, coalies, eels, and the odd codling and s trout, id take a doggie off one of them beaches anytime because its as rare as it gets in louth, i could be wrong so if anyone else gets them in louth lads can you let me know.

Greenore will throw up doggies at low water basshunter, and off the pier in carlingford will also give ya the odd doggie.

Chhers flyno, again, strange there so hard got isnt it

at least you beat the blank man. the louth/meath beaches seem to be hard going at the minute. just beating the blank seems to be an achievement.
