dunmore east launch

[insomnia]

Hi lads been a while since i have been on here i have bought a boat this year got myself an nice little sea jeep im wondering does anyone here ever launch from dunmore east how is it there is it safe enough and is there any rules on the slipway trying to gather information on it also how is the fishing there thanks in advance

It's a nice slipway,but can whip up in certain winds,parking can be tight,park neatly in front of sailing club,fishing from what I hear very poor at the moment,have a look at the webcams in dunmore east harbour it will give you a shot of slipway,can be very busy when the kids are off at the adventure centre..

Thanks for your reply can anyone launch there and would dunmore East or tramore be better till I get the grips of things

tramore is very tidal

I Know kilmore has the best slip and facilities around but you do have to pay to use it - yearly or daily , you can launchg out of passage east on a high tide but its tricky enough. I would imagine you can use the slip in Dunmore as the only other one i see listed is Wexford harbour for a slip fee


Fishing is brutal at the minute , was out of kilmore and nothing doing at all , water isnt the clearest either

Dunmore is free to everyone at the moment,just respect the area as it is a working harbour,tramore is handy but tidal but you will launch anytime bar very low water,take care ,as jeeps and trailers do get stuck in the sand/mud,ballyhack not too bad,but there is a very steep drop off at the end of slipway,and you have the ferry and ferry tragic to deal with...

Not sure if the RNLI still do boat checks but you could ask in Dunmore,carry an auxiliary engine if you can,flares,life jackets,a working VHF radio and a good anchor rope and chain,as for service,Clinton marine,Maurice Cott in Ballanacurra cork Cork Marine or Marine Motors depending where your from...
