Where is a good spot in South Dublin? I have been away for years but used to fish Dun Laoghaire as a kid back in the late 80's. No idea where I should go nowadays.

Nothing much in Dun Laoghaire today, although I just fished for 90 mins and left 2 hours before High Tide. The lads there saying not many caught this week. Just ones and twos.

Where I was fishing is remote but never failed me before at this time of year.

I was in Clogherhead on Tuesday. No mackerel or any fry. However it looked like the beginnings of a red tide which won't help.
