Merry-Go-Round Weed Wonderland

Met a mate on Saturday evening as both of us were keen to get out and wet a line. The east (Antrim) coast was the only place that offered shelter out of the fierce west winds. My mate had 4 nice wee flounder, I didn't But all was good, it was a really nice and enjoyable evening watching the world go by and chatting to a few other anglers..
We planned to meet again last night on a different beach this time, a few miles around the coast, to see if it was any way more productive. He texted me last minute and cancelled
I battled on and arrived at the mark only to find the wind howling up the beach, there was more northerly in it than anticipated and so I had to consider my options. I drove to another (rock) mark just around the coast where I found shelter, on now a lovely evening. I cast out 2 rods and kicked back, content.
But both lines came back caked in that gooey, sticky, brown seaweed cr*p. Every hook, knot and weight was slabbered in it. I tried all distances and directions but there was no escape
Refusing to be beat I upped sticks again and headed to a 3rd mark, a mark in the same bay but maybe a mile away. The weed was there too. The whole bay was full of it! Nightmare.
I filled a bucket of sh1te left by other anglers and headed home...
And you thought that you were having a bad day..

fished Antrim coast last week and the same weed was there in force, fair play on tiding up after the so called anglers

Don’t mind the weed so much there’s not a lot you can do about it but the rubbish left behind by people really pisses me off.These will be the same lads giving out theirs no fish to be caught.

Fair play on the good fight chuck - and it can be hard to motivate yourself to clean up somone elses mess - so well done there chief
