as al and drew are hitting the west this weekend,and as drew had requested we find him brill,we hit a beach we know to see if they were still knocking around,well,i say "beach"..but after the storms of the last week,the mile long beautiful sandy beach that we were used to was completly gone,and a stony beach had replaced it natures powers never ceases to amaze me...we got set up and with two rods fishing in close and two rods out we were covering all bases..now we never get big ammounts of fish of this beach,but the fish you do get are normally decent..but try as we might,nothing was showing,finally after two hours fishing,my far out rod tapped,and a nice schoolie seatrout was landed,quick measure and pic and he swam away to grow a bit....ten minutes later it was jasons turn and an identical trout was landed,measured and realeased....then..nothing.. this beach normally throws up a few decent flatties,including brill(small) and turbot and lunker flounder but it looks like they have moved ofshore now...finally as we were thinking of packing up i got one final seatrout,same size,so did not bother to measure it just stright back for another day....

sorry man i tough it read 4-6 but as you said 3 sea trout is good going

cheers lads,and i noticed that i put the same bloody picture up twice! that beach has thrown up a LOT of trout this year..mostly in the 3-4lb range.along with some big flounder and turbot...with bonus small brill most times as well...but seatrout have been a regular bycatch on a lot of beaches this year...mostly the belmullet area mind...

I was figuring it was the same fish (the notch in the dorsal fin) But as you said doggie, nature has some power in it!!! any idea were the sand may have placed itself, as with all the fresh churned sand in place you might find the flats your lookin for we need something like that on the east coast particular North Dublin Beaches... some of the North Dublin beaches are just a disaster now -a -days shallows with very few features

well done noel.i know the beach that you are on about with the brill.be nice to see if there was a few still knocking around it.

there was a big depression about 200yds up the beach,totally gone now,id say most of the sands in there...and all the features changed...so it will be a case of re exploring that beach again to find the hotspots...but we will stay off it for a while to give the seatrout a chance to recover from spawning...

Well done lads, you can't beat a few Sea trout I'll be out after them myself next week, where you got that fine salmon a few years ago Noel
