#1 Post by shortcircuit »

Does anyobe know what the weed situation in the Courtmac estuary is like at the moment? I know it can suffer in the summer months.

Thanks

I wouldn't mind knowing this myself,I'm heading down that direction on Sunday, nearly every beach east cork way has too much weed in the water, nothing worse than driving for over an hour to discover an area is unfishable and then spending the next 2 hours finding a spot,

I was in Courtmac at the weekend. It's virtually unfishable. Woodpoint at LW will give a window of about an hour and a half that its possible to fish. Coolmaine or Garretstown would be better options IMO.
