Fished around the same areas with zero results - floating rag and mussel, also tried Spanish Point on a very strong ebbing tide (and quite a dangerous rip too, very glad to have the floatation suit

) and lost something big (bait - sand eels on 2/3 flappers.

Had some consolation at cappa a couple of doggies and when the sea otter was gone there were plenty of average whiting all went back including (reluctantly

)a whopper of Lobster 4+lbs at a guess (would have a pound bigger if he had both claws)

things will get better and now Leinster are out of the ERC

I will have more time to get out, though I will switch allegence to Munster I wont have to travel.
