All the fresh in the last week has flushed them out and they have gone a bit patchy again.
Why not join Cobh SAC - looking for new members....

They were thick around "the waters edge" tonight and last night (where the tug Thrax is moored.).

Had some in Cobh last weekend from the quay at train station, and noticed when leaving Monkstown on weds night they were coming in after the sprats.
