Fished there tonight and ..
There was some weed coming in with the tide but not too bad, very fishable. Same time no size of the fish, caught about 10 codlings no bigger than 25cm in 2h ...
So moved to another spot on full tide and caught 2 rays and 2 doggies :twisted:

Im looking at heading down to waterford this weekend. Winds are dropping but I was just wondering does anybody have a clue on what way the weed is down there with this recent spate of weather.

Thanks

Martin
