Hello all. Just back from a month in Cancun and New York and I must lose some of this suntan I'm after getting so I'm going to hit the East coast beaches this weekend.
Any tips location or tactics wise? I was half thinking of trying for a tope having read some of the posts below but if thats unrealistic given the tides etc please let me know.
Cheers all. BTW the lasses in Cancun are...well....brings a tear to my eye frankly
Fished Greystones South last night. Its been a good while since I fished here. The floating weed was a nightmare. It meant that even with six oz grippers the gear was tossed back up onto the beach after a few minutes. Disasterous. Is this a common problem?
just depends on conditions Blaker. the tide run towards the end of the beach can be strong too. i think the kelp gets battered off the rocks and ends up in the surf when the seas are big? where you fishin a big sea?

Ballygannon is the very south of the South Beach in Greystones, best way to get to it is by parking at the driving range at charlesland and walking accross the train tracks
Hi, cheers for clearing that up. We were fishing about 1 mile from the train station car park. I would have gone further but I was with two novices who didn't fancy it.
The sea was at worst a bit lumpy. No breakers at all. Strange really and a total pain in the cheeks.
Because of the strong currents Ballygannon can only be fished for the last few hours of the drop and the first few hours of the rise. The weed usually dies away once the tidal flow slows down.
