spinning this time of the year?

#1 Post by ian 123 »

Hi lads quick question,I got a new spinning rod and reel a few weeks back,i really want to give it a cast. Would I be mad to spin a toby up around howth or malahide? Is it too early,or is there a chance of catching? cheers

No, I have it on good authority that there are fish to be had spinning in certain areas.

if you put some lug on the treble and leave it sitting on the bottom, the toby's a guaranteed small whiting magnet.

absolutely no reason why you should not spin this time of year.

good possibilities you have would be coalies and small pollack and if you pulled a spinner across the nose of a cod he wouldn't say no either :wink: there could be a chance of a schoolie bass aswell :wink:

get out and give it a shot.

lets know how you get on :wink:
