Report: intended fishing s/wickow but when i arrived there it was flat calm ,so i decided to head to wex and on way down i forgot to take the turn at ballycanew so quick decision and decided to hit s/wex . it was abit of a gamble because this beach is known for weed ,anyway arrived and not a bit to be seen happy days and even better there was a nice bit of surf running up the beach .

at this stage the tide was an hour into the drop ,got the rods out one in the gutter and the other 40 yrds .it was a little slow for tha first hour but after that it picked up ,first schoolie no monster at 34cm but still a schoolie then 30 min later another 38 cm ,then had a mix of flounders best 28 cm ,coalies to 34 cm ,about 10 oclock had a nice rattle and result ,a 40 cm schoolie and 20 min later a 42 cm schoolie [bass]

Went quiet after that so packed up a hit the road ,hopefully this is the start of some fishing in the wex and wicklow beaches

all fish were taken on lug nothing on crab,everything was returned to fight another day .
