Greystones

#1 Post by Al »

Hi lads/ladies,

Was just wondering if anyone has any update on how greystones is fishing? haven't been on a pleasure session since June :( just heading out on a handy session for a few hours tonight and was mostly wondering if any coalies have showed up yet?
Will most likely fish behind the driving range ;)
Cheers in advance,

Al

Not too much weed or fish, had one bass of 43cm and a mini flound. Gar unfortunately blanked :(


There were lads fishing further up and they had a few minis, whiting, codling and a dog each.
Only fished from 7.30-9.45 it wasn't worth hypothermia
