have fished on the lefthandside at night. never fished very well. fish low water up. early in the morning is as good. should get trebbles of fish at this time of year. pout, cod, coalies, whiting, dab, dogs...depends on the day!

you could try howth harbour east pier, good conger there now. high water on righthandside.

sorry i made a mistake. the conger are on the shorter pier which i pressume is the west, on righthandside(fishin just inside the harbour). good fish there. u'd want heavy gear 4 em though.

apologies...
