Nice fishing richie, have fished that stretch (Bray- Greystones) a few times and it has always thrown up a pollock or two, can get a little hairy at times however on the rocks.

Re: Brayhead, Wicklow 1/05
Well done Ritchie, some nice fishing there.
Brayhead is a mark that I've been meaning to try for a long time but never got around to, I went for a walk up there a couple of weeks ago to see if I could find any marks but the ones I saw looked a little hairy to get down to. Are they all like that or are there some that are a little more accessible?

Re: Brayhead, Wicklow 1/05
There are very few places you can get to that are safe, its a bit fustrating looking at marks that you just can't reach and would fish really well, but the spot I was at is fairly handy, its a bit hit or miss at this time of year but if you want we can meet up some evening in the Summer when if fishes better and give it a try.Dave wrote:Well done Ritchie, some nice fishing there.Brayhead is a mark that I've been meaning to try for a long time but never got around to, I went for a walk up there a couple of weeks ago to see if I could find any marks but the ones I saw looked a little hairy to get down to.

Re: Brayhead, Wicklow 1/05
I know what you mean Ritchie, its certainly frustrating alright but it looks like great pollock and wrasse ground though. Anyway that sounds good though, I'd be up for that.Richie07 wrote:There are very few places you can get to that are safe, its a bit fustrating looking at marks that you just can't reach and would fish really well, but the spot I was at is fairly handy, its a bit hit or miss at this time of year but if you want we can meet up some evening in the Summer when if fishes better and give it a try.Dave wrote:Well done Ritchie, some nice fishing there.Brayhead is a mark that I've been meaning to try for a long time but never got around to, I went for a walk up there a couple of weeks ago to see if I could find any marks but the ones I saw looked a little hairy to get down to.
