In Howth you need to go around the hill and climb down to some of the good marks, the reason no one fishes them is the danger in getting down there. If you fall you will die.
I only did it the once, lost a pollock about 4lb off the rocks on the retrieve, never went there again though cos if it rained you wouldn't get back up.

from the east pier! have only ever got the odd small doggie from that side... never knew ther was pollack around... dont see why donabate wouldint hold a few species, water is very shallow down ther tho... looks like a real bass spot round the rocks... have heard of decent rays and smoothounds from the sand banks at the malahide end in summer
