Sligo Beach

First trek to this mark was about six years ago for a competition and I never thought about it since, but with my own transport nowadays I can go anywhere. Got to the beach and there was one lone surfer further down. It was giving showers so the lack of tourists was a bonus.
Tide was dropping and there was rows of thunderous waves crashing. Out with the 3 hook flappers , one was a clip down baited with full sandeels at distance and the other in close with mackerel strips. First half an hour passed and the rod in close got a knock, flounder at 25cm. Was my only fish from 3-6 and I was contemplating changing venue to a pier or wait for darkness but my bait was limited so I decided to stick it out. As the tide turned , so did the fishing. Next fish was a flounder at 34cm followed by a teabag turbot at 11cm! Fished till 8.30 and had a mix of flounder to 33cm and bigger turbot to 26cm. Ended the session with 4 flounder and 6 turbot.

Plump looking flounder. At least you got a few fish ya cant beat the "turn of the tide".

Nice fishing joe
Really nice flounder and turbot, great pics

Great fishing Joe! I was at strandhill beach yesterday and caught a small gurnard which is weird.

that 2nd picture looks like a brill - maybe its just the photo angle!

Really? That is strange? Just infront of the carpark or up past the dunes? Well done!

Right side near the airport, surfers called it blue lagoon or something.
