Silly question from a newbie

#1 Post by pierojump »

Hello folks,

I'm used to fishing in Italy for a long time but now that I'm settled down here in Ireland, I'd like to carry on with my passion. Unfortunately I never tried to fish in the Ocean so I have no idea about what kind of technique you used to use in Ireland and what kind of fish you're used to catch.
I'm always used to fish in midcastin or surfcasting with worms either fillets, depends about the prey. Can you please let me know if there is a topic with the common prey and techniques in the fourm?

Thanks a lot,

Pietro

Go to the front page of the website, if you're using a phone there is a drop down on the right. The species guide give all you can catch with recommendations on how, there is also a list of shore marks.

Also https://fishinginireland.info/sea/ and look at the guides at the bottom of https://fishinginireland.info/useful/
