Myself and my uncle decided to hit Laytown beach today, weed was absolutely horrendous! Spent most of the time picking weed off the lines. We got rained on too. I waided too deep in my wellies and got a bootfull of soup. I had one good bite but she dropped off. So not the best fishing session but still had a good laugh.

A boot of soup! Must be up there with weeds, hungry crabs and a blank. I got a pair of Magreel chest waders on Amazon for about 30 odd quid and they have been great, would defo recommend them.

Ah yeah I have a good pair of waders but they're not breathable, and the sun was splitting down before I left so I decided against them today

Told ya gonzo u want some decent advice on that general area PM me!!

That bit of East wind churned up the water, the weed is usually still there along the north county beahes for a few days afterwards.
When it's bad like that, one way of fishing through it is keep the rod in your hands and hold it up clear of the weed , waders help as most of the weed is in the first 10 metres of the surf..
