Haven't put up a post for a while after the 2km limit decided to try a beach I've never fished when I got there it was a lovely surf but full off weed no fish no bites but I enjoyed it

Probably better fishing with rag or blow lug on gormanston and later in the evening into dark is best

Has anyone fished the reefs just south of Braymore Point - essentially around the Sailors Grave.
Using Google Maps you can see some nice shelving scattered reef running out about 100m, so good for a long throw.
Alternatively, something I would be keen to try, is the deeper water reef lying about 200m offshore directly off Braymore Point - that would be very easily within my reach using our Phantom 4 for dropping either baits or flukes onto the reef.

Ive never blanked at gormanstown or laytown. Never got anything too big either. Generally flounder at gormanstown and always with the tide coming to full. Laytown I've only caught 3 hrs before full dont know if that's the norm as iv fished gormanstown about 8 times and laytown about 12 times

Generally it's the first two hours of the flood on those beaches that fish best. Theres some cracking bass and seatrout to be had. My PB from laytown was an 8lb bass and 6lb Seatrout. Mate of mine had a 10lb bass in laytown a few years ago it was some fish!

Fished breamore point tonight, nothing, crabs stripping the hooks in minutes. I’d say to could be good for hounds later in the year with the rite tide. Nice to get out but pity about the blank!

The first 2 hrs of the flood. That would be a long way out wouldn't it

Yep it's a fair walk in down to the water! Usually worth it though!

Tides are good for that tonight and tomorrow night. Tomorrow will be a bigger surf so wondering would that be better
