I was out with chenz lads on the 30th dec we were there 2.5hrs before high tide and after and we all drew a blank very disappointing noteven a nibble on the bait, we used lug,mack,crab,mussels,squid with no joy. mind you we should off not used the mussels !! since there was loads off shells on the beach!

Lads can anyone advise of a good spot in wexford for a fishing trip any good spots to hit, were planning to go the 22nd/23rd of jan

thx Jackthelad
