Mayo beach

Went for a beach session 1/4/17
Slow enough day but unreal sunshine. Strong wind cutting down the mountain side proved difficult for noticing bites. First cast produced a 30cm flounder.
Two strong rattles registered but were missed , more than likely sea trout. Went dead slack at low water. Time was catching up with me as it was near time for the night shift at work. Last cast produced a double 34cm flounder and a 16cm brill. Was slow fishing but was delighted with the outcome of a brill, first one in about 3 years. - Joe

Wow, nice fishing. Didn't know you could get brill from the shore. Links aren't working unfortunately.

Hi Joe

Lovely to see a brill, think I can guess the beach.
I was half thinking I would get out some evening this week with the fine weather and the longer evenings.
Youve made my mind up for me. ;0) What bait were you using?

Use URL not IMG when posting the links, changed them...

great to see the brill, nice one

Congrats on the brill - one I've still to get from the shore. But as a local sage said to me about my salmon tally last year: "They dont get into the bed with you..."

Nice flatties. Lovely wee brill
