they are a bit on and off to be honest very bright calm evenings seem to be a waste of time especially on youghal beach i wonder if all the swimmers and other beach activities is pushing the fish off. i think the west waterford beaches are throwing up a few more fish at the minute.

Southern part Youghal Strand: Flounders and even some hungy doggies on lugworm.

I wonder if somebody has caught any bass out there lately?

have you tried any of the beaches down ballycotton way, inch, ballybrannigan etc..?
species for 2009 (42)
species for 2010 (27)
species for 2011 (12)
species for 2012 (8)
[i][b][color=#0000BF] best advice for catching species is girls dont like fishing and its hard to catch fish when you sell all your gear'[/color][/b][/i]

Word down here is there were plenty showing last week and same this week although strangely enough low water seems to be the key.A couple of breaks off garryvoe last night although out a bit and only small shoals working up and down the beach,ballycotton might be worth a visit if they are off garryvoe.
