Report:
Was driving back from the nightmare that had been the sai NvS meet (good craic though) and being the glutten I am, decided to try Mullaghmore. Am now living in Sligo due to work sending me on a coarse and wanted to try a local spot. There was a little bit of a surf about half a mile along the beach so decided the walk would do me good! With a tackle box full of leads etc 4 rods and 2 bait buckets it nearly killed me. The bigger 2 flounder fell to stinky mackerel and the sea trout took rag and lug tipped with razor. Only got one small flounder on a static bait, twitching accounted for the rest.

Nice session well. Always mean to fish further up the beach where you were it's just the thought of the walk that kills me. Usually end up fishing off the breakwater inthe harbour. Or from the rocks at the oppisite end of the beach at Mermaids Cove. Were the sea trout of any size???

hi sean, passed by Mullaghmore on sunday but we kept going to Inniscrone-should have went to mullaghmore as I blanked again on sunday :(

You should have Nige..was on it this evening and had five flounders to a best of 27cm. Even the smallest made 20cm..where were the wee feckers when i needed them on Saturday :lol:

Hello there Shane. The seatrout were only small, biggest 35cm. First time catching one in the sea though, wasnt trying for them but nice to get all the same.
Nige, you should have stopped is right. That place did a lot to reassure me that it was possible to catch fish after saturdays fiasco!
