3 September 2003 Time: Day
Fished the Back Beach near Castlegregory (Kerry) for 3 consecutive days,
all sessions begining at 6.15am. Caught 7 bass, mainly betwen 2.5-4lbs,
with one beauty of 6lb 2oz. Bait was frozen sandeel. If you are going to
fish here you will need chest waders (it's a surf beach, and difficult
to fish from the shore).

July 2003 Time: Day
Started @ 7am, spinning from the pier with mackerel feathers, nothing
for 45 mins, but millions of sandeels swimming around the pier. From
7.30am mackerel started boiling on the surface, pulled in 30+ mackerel
inside an hour. Got so bored with the feathers (3 fish at a time),
switched to a light spinning rod and spinner and got some good scraps.
Packed up @ 9.00am for fry up, shoal returned as I was leaving, spoke to
a bloke the next day and he said he caught 50+ mackerel.

April 2003 Time:Day
Fished 3/4 hours of the incoming tide, near the Moy estuary. Had
good bait, sandeel, mackeral and razor but only one fish in the session.
A small plaice which took the sandeel. Not a lot happening, but
conditions were to calm with a slight easterly, which doesn't help.

Fished
the Moy Estuary on the coming tide on the Saturday and Sunday with
mackerel they were giving away from the pier in Enniscrone the evening
before (it's mackerel bashing season there at the moment). Plenty of
bits, but mainly from crabs. Had to keep rebaiting every couple of
minutes. Landed a couple of flounder and the odd dab.
Weather
was lovely though and it was great to be there and relax.
