Right...
Belmullet it is, fishing up and down from high water around 1-2 pm, and trying a new set of marks at Duveel. For the uninitiated its the peninsula on the Mayo side of Blind Harbour. I've done my research and it offers a very wide mix of conditions - from rocks to sand, from shallow to very deep, with a couple of very sheltered gullies where we can do a bit of mini species hunting if we're very bored...
Access is a bit of a slog - drove up there before to check out a beach - but there is a farmer's green road up most of the way, not sure the new car will enjoy it but what the hell. Good boots required and it being Mayo in March, sun block and waterproofs recommended.
if anyone is interested in joining us, weather looks set fair, light winds southerly veering south east, relatively small swell so should be able to fish both sides of the peninsula, and been told to expect flats and dogs, with coalfish congers and early wrasse in the weeds.
Would kill for some ragworm or fresh lugworm, have most other frozen baits ready including stinky black lug for any dabs.
Will be hoping for turbot or even a ray, who knows... wish me lucky as its awful early to be doing this!
