Re: Any sign of the hounds
Went to Wicklow tuesday and fished from 3pm to 10pm, I had 2 rods in the water, Baits were crab, sandeel and lug, baits were being stripped bare, another angler came and he was using smaller hooks as I had pulleys, he got few pin whiting which explained baits being cleaned, I managed 1 whiting at around 9pm at high tide as I had changed one of the rigs to 1 hook flapper with size 4 hook. Very poor but I will be back but leaving it to middle of June, will get back to Tralee bay or Clare first as those marks are producing.

Re: Any sign of the hounds
Ste C, I knew I wasnt going to get any hounds lol, thought I might have taken a Bass, good surf rolling in but couldnt get past the hooks being stripped, had to check them every 10 mins.
