What should I be fishing for in Ballycotton April to July?

#1 Post by bewise »

Hi again, another newbie question, but what should I be fishing for in the Ballycotton area between April and mid July? I guess shore fishing to start but if I find someone friendly enough with a boat, deep sea as well. Also any suggestions on kit I could get as I have none at the moment and plan to buy it when I get out there on Friday.

Thanks in advance
