Report: have the thornbacks really all gone , I was catching them later than this last year we had planned to go to a beach mark but it got quite blustery and i felt lazy so we opted for the shelter of the pier hoping to land a few thornies, this mark will normally produce the goods for us. I had a very poor session but at least didnt blank, not a single catch on my worm baits just kept getting stripped , even with the rag tipped of with squid the hooks kept coming back with squid but worms stripped I'm telling ya someone is educating them crabs. Mick at least got a few species, with a coalie of about 1lb.

well you can always relay on the doggie's to save a blank
as for the thornie's its the same story up around fahan, they seem to be moving out towards the mouth of the swilly already. this time last year i was still catching them at fahan, now at fahan its doggie heaven
nice wee session lcl

unlucky with the thornies man but at least you got a few fish and beat the blank
