East Point Business Park, Dublin

What's the story - can you fish from it (it's Clontarf, Dublin 3)?

I've seen plenty of grey mullet around the bridge.

Load of people working there, some of the must wonder if popping onto the rocks at lunchtime would result in bass, mack, mullet, etc.

I only live round the corner on East Wall and run round the strand a few nights a week. I mentioned on here a while back that I'd seen a massive shoal of mullet, some getting up to around 3 or 4lb's by the look of them. Having said that, I've never actually got round to fishing it. I did see a small trout in the river just past the business park where it runs alongside Fairview Park as well. Gimme a shout if you're giving it a shot and I'll tag along!

Have netted around there as part of a survey with the old job in the fisheries board. Got juvenile sole here and at the ringsend yacht club. Most of em too small to target but better size to the ones here.
