Re: beach fishing after a gale
joe i find here in the west that beaches can fish very well after a gale.i think that the fish move off for a bit to cover and come a shore wen the weathers on the mend to find wats left after the heavy sea and surf on the shore.also try using more shellfish after the storm.

Re: beach fishing after a gale
greystones should fish well on sun night if its not too weedy straight out from the arch and if they are about a big cast wont be needed 60 tp 80 yards will get you in to the feeding zone,sometimes even closer

Hi there, I do alot of fishing around greystones/wexford/donegal and have found that fishing just after bad weather does give great results. Casting distance's drop alot too as i have found 15-20 feet on the west coast to be leathal. Sandeels just into the surf can catch great flatties and the occasional Trout.

Re: beach fishing after a gale
I am not trying to be funny here, but it always amuses me when people talk about a short cast of 60 to 80 yds. I am a novice and I would be delighted if I could hit 80yds with a cast. Before you say it. I am using a multiplier.
I don't fish to catch fish. I just like using the gear.
If you think I am narky now, you should hear me when I'm in bad humour.
