Lot of weed still on Ballyquin, just about fishable over low tide but as the tide pushed in a mass of kelp drifted in from the west making it totally unfishable.

Also tried youghal for a while last night,last hr of ebb no weed or fish :lol: ,the flood brought mounds of the stuff and as the wind picked up it became impossible to hold bottom with 200grms.Did find a trace with remains of a schoolie bass and doggie at the hw mark,so if anyone wants to claim a 5oz breakaway lead and 2 size 2/0 kamasan b940 i have them in my box :lol: Oh a few coalies turned up just before i went home after 2hrs :evil:
Tried to fish behind the carpet factory but the gates were closed again.

Weed made fishing very difficult, bordering on impossible, at BB tonight.
