Blown out of it, weeded out of it and jellied out of it…

I had to abort the location I had in mind last week. Arriving at the spot and attempting to fish saw casts only last a minute or two before the weed carried the whole lot along with the tide. No fun. A little stuck for time I was tempted to just go straight home but a look at a less exposed location changed my mind. It was worth a try.



Nothing for an hour, so fed up I lay the rig out parallel to the sea and gave it a good whack into the wind for what was supposed to be my last cast...

Not long after and a rattling bite produced this little fella.





One more cast I thought. The rod was only in the stand and it went right over- a bass of 44cm. Tried again and another bass similar size. The three fish took straight lug. Unfortunately I REALLY had to head home by this stage so called it a day. Overall bad fishing but a few welcome fish even if it was all over in 15 minutes!

A lot of portuguese man of war jellyfish around the west cork coastline recently and quite a few where here before the 'hurricane'.

wouldn't call that a bad session. those are species hard come by on the north coast. Would call that a great session up here, lol
Pretty cool to see the pmow too

I should have got a pic of the jellyfish but there were black clouds on the horizon and a bit of a walk to the wheels. I can't sit easy- an hour twiddling my thumbs with no fish is painful!

Two bass and a gilt head woefull
