Absolutly sh1t is the best thing that could be said. 2 lads done dunaff and the mouth of the swilly todat and totally blanked :evil: . Not even a mackeral. But theres some good tope caught off the mouth of the foyle over the last few weeks up to 43lb ::smile:: I had a lot of mackeral last wedensday at kinageo bay thats just around the corner from the foyle. Hopefully the tope are still off the foyle. thursday is looking good here I hope to give them a bash then

Lads not posted for a bit my inter net connections is fecking about but I have been watching on my phone and face book. Well was out today and it is really bad there is no fish about with this red tide that is out there at the moment, it is a total barren sea we were out today for 5 hours around the mouth and all we had was 2 very small pollock and one small whiting, and what I hear we done quite well as some local charters blanked today :thumbdown: this is not looking good around this area for this year lets hope this algae moves of and we can get some fishing done :thumbup:

Give a man a fish, and he'll feed his family for a day.

Give him a fishing rod, and he'll feck off for the whole weekend
