Waterford area

#1 Post by captin Plaice32 »

Hi guys, this is my first post from this account. Hadn't used the site in a while and because I have a new email and forgot my password, I thought it was best to start over. Anyway I am mostly a coarse match angler in freshwater but will be doing some more sea fishing over the next month. I was wondering if anyone on here could give me a bit of help with regards to fishing in the Waterford area, especially around the Tramore/Dunmore areas but I would travel reasonable distance if it was worth it. I particularly like rock fishing with bait and sometimes lures but certainly do not mind a bit of beach fishing either (Im not too fussy as long as there is fish to be caught :D ) Anyway, any info would be appreciated so thanks in advance everyone.

Hey, welcome back to the site. The Waterford Estuary is producing smooth hounds at the moment so Passage East beach could be worth a shot for them anyway. Haven't fished anywhere else in Waterford though

Thanks for the reply! Ill probably give it a go. I think the rocks by the lighthouse at the end of the pier in Dunmore East could produce a hound or a something else, Ill try anyway

I always hear of the flat rocks around Dunmore doing well for pollack and wrasse and the likes. Also heard of some bream caught in that area

Definitely fish in the Waterford area. Was down in Dungarvan last week with work and fish very close into shore
