Haven’t fished north Dublin at all this year yet, did fish it a lot this time last year, started getting them the second week of April last year.

Gave a North Dublin beach a go at the weekend, not a bite, baits untouched, Gannets absolutely hammering bait fish 100 yards offshore, fantastic to watch all the same
