Fished Muckross Beach, Donegal on Saturday after a stormy Friday night. I had thought it would be bad but the weather was too nice to sit at home. Unsurprisingly i was cleaning my line all to often and packed up after an hour or so with nothing to show for my efforts (apart from a fine collection of weed at my feet). Headed to the wee pier at Shalway for a few hours as it was more sheltered and had a few wrasse and pollock before the heavy rain sent me packing again!

almost a year later and same issue - that stuff is back - think it coincides with all the fertiliser/slurry gone out
