Hi guys,

I am hoping to get a bit of fishing in this Wednesday. It looks like neap tides with high water at about 6pm or so. I was hoping one of you guys in the know can put me on a mark in the South Dublin / Wicklow area, maybe north Wexford. I am hoping for a bit of beach fishing and am looking for a mixed bag of fish. If you don't fancy replying here, a PM would be great. Any locations by PM will be kept to myself.

Thanks,

Kev

Thanks for the reply Adam. I done a quick search on the forum and it seems that it is best fished well into darkness. I'll be in the pub by then. :lol:

Hi MAC, If ye just fancy a bit of variety and plenty of bites, try Scotsmans Bay in Sandycove. (Area from 40ft - Bullock Harbour) There can be plenty of fish over mixed ground to simple worm or crab baits. (Ballen Wrasse, Red Codling, coalies, mackeral, pollack, for definite) possible plaice & dabs on cleaner patches, if ye can find em, schoolie bass, mullet (groundbait) and strap congers.

A spinning rod and rucksack with hooks (1/0 is perfect) lightish weights and bit's and pieces, should see you right, there's a little bit of rock hoppin but safe if it's not raining, and fine on a neap tide. A lovely area too, that holds plenty of fish, also just 25 mins from the city.

Cheers Alby,

Looking to head a bit further south with maybe the possibility of a few bigger fish. I'll be taking a few of my younger brothers fishing soon, so I'll keep this one in mind.

Very hit and miss for the big fish Kevin. Clones Beach could throw up some smoothies or maybe even a tope providing you can wade through the inevitable plague of dogs, best of luck anyway.

Thanks Alby, Was chatting to a friend last night and decided to give Clones a bash. I've never fished it before, so I am looking forward to it.
