Anywhere weed free south wex?

#442 Post by doublebubble »

Hi Lads
Myself and my dad are hitting south wex tomorrow for an eve/night session. I am familiar from carnsore to fethard but reading on the weed forum
there seems to be plenty of it around. Any one out today or tonight if they could let me know if they found anywhere fishable

Thanks

Kilcoole quite bad this evening, took 20 mins to clear all the crap from my leader knot down to the sinker. That was my first cast so knew what was in store for the rest of the evening and decided to cut my losses and head home. Pity really as the last few times I fished Kilcoole it was very clear.
