Unlucky Brian. Dont know if I'd put it down to the storm though. Me and a mate waited for the storm to pass and went fishing last Wednesday in North Wexford. One of the most productive nights all year. Maybe it had something to do with winds or whatever but was interesting to find this mark fishing so well. I've always thought fishing was best after a storm. Maybe someone might explain a bit better.

5 blanks in a row bud in a weeks fishing. I'm fishing with a new rod.
It's cursed!
I'm by far the worst fisherman in cork. The last few months were epic. But the last week has being hell on earth.
