Hello,

Hello,

Is the east coast still only producing at night? I am only free during the day time at the minute so night trips are not an option. Any help please

Night time seems to be best at the minute and even then it's hard work scratching out a few fish :? Maybe try a rock mark? Roll on smoothy season!
It ain't easy but it sure is simple!

Can start around mid April in Dublin, but usually around May is when it gets going and lasts up intil October although there have been some caught until November :)

Still a while to wait :( Ah well, back to micro flounder until then (or is that just me?!)
