April 3rd

Haven’t had a lot to report the past few months apart from four blanks in row from the beaches so I grabbed the spinning rod & the headed for a rocks, but after two hours & not a bite I was beginning to think a fifth bank was on the cards but luckily a wee Pollock took the spinner & saved the day stayed on for another hour but not a bite. The rock fishing is very slow this year just hope it improves over the coming weeks.

April 11th

I tried a local beach as there’s was a nice surf running & not a surfer in sight which was great for a change cast out one rod at distance & the other in close both baited with small Mack strips but yet again the baits were coming back untouched & after three hours I just had enough & started reeling in the line to head for home but to my surprise a lovely little blank saving Turbot appeared on the bottom hook of the distance rod happy days Thinking I was in for a great session I decided to stay on for another hour but nothing else showed up but was just happy to have caught something.

A few pictures I took of a wee Sole we found out after Razor fish my first one to see around here he was buried in the sand at low tide he looked like a bird had pecked him & also a dead Mullet what ever happened to him!!

Nice little sole there.
Well dome Brian

At least you bet the blank thats an awful mangaled looking mullet

A nice few fish there great to beat the blank. That's a class little sole. Lovely to see very rare down here in the west, well done for spotting it.

brilliant pics Fisherking. stunning wee turbot and a class pic of the sole, great find
slim pickings all round our shores at the moment. think the whole system is at least a month behind itself after the cold easterlies... onwards and upwards!

Id say that mullets dead , well done on the others cool little sole

Good to beat the blank, bad on the beaches, not good on the rocks, starting to run out of options! Nice pics but that's a big sole, here's a wee sole! ( from Rosnowlagh last year). Glad to see you're not adding that mullet to your species list.
