HELP !!!!!
please forgive me for being the useless girlfriend that really does not have a clue about fishing, that most of you leave at home to get your heads showered
but i need some help and advise. My partner and me are heading to Youghal for a long weekend (8th feb) and really both of us does not have a clue where to fish. We have been told about Monetrea House, and have a rough idea where it is, but could anyone please give me a bit more info as to where it is, hows it fishing or is there anywhere better nearby. Also is there anywhere to buy frozen or fresh bait close to Youghal. Any help and advise would be great
