Very poor again at Youghal. Weed was a problem & I lost a couple of rigs / leads to that issue. Crabs were active nibbling the bait & in three hours only had two bites, one landed & a bigger one that ran the line & wrapped me around the nearest buoy causing a snapped line!!!!
The Youghal area has fished very badly this week & save for teh odd dog I have seen no other signs of fish live anywhere.
Had a quick spin at Armore pier yesterday afternoon. On two occassions I had a large Flounder follow in a plastic sandeel but nver take a bite. Just off the pier 15 Mullet congregated but without any breadbait or ragworm I had nothing to temp them, although half an hour of chucking various MEPS at their heads was fun, & if only I could haveknocked one out I could have had my first Mullet of the season!
