Hi Ian I've heard there is some out there on the far side of the pier. I'm heading out this morning to have a look and drop some bread about. I plan to do this for a few mornings this week. The tide is ebbing now so not sure what to expect. I've had a few goes else where but no luck so far. It would be great to have some luck in Howth as its only a short drive for me.

Have seen them there myself, The thing that would worry me is getting them feeding and the seal's showing up and spooking them.

Spent an hour looking around last night and saw a few fish. I did not see any big shoals although was told by a few lads they'd seen them. I went to the slip and put down a nice stinky bucket of bait but could not hang around. I had my 2 year old with me and it was not the safest spot to be!

I'll go back out later today and do the same. I hope then to try fish for them Wednesday or Thursday.
