Hi,

As I'm moving to Skerries soon I'm just wondering if there is any good shore fishing around :D

Thanks for your reply

Used to live in Howth and have been fishing on Balscaddn.
Good fun sometimes but nothing spectacular :-)

Worst spot ever seen when it comes to rubbish left by others...

Will try the spots you suggested :-)

Moving in about 2 weeks hehe...

You could try the northern end of the north strand mate, have had dabs and plaice there... also dogs near the rocks. small shoals of mullet in the harbour in summer, also have had decent pollock in the channel between the playground area and red island, horrible ground tho, youll need plenty of tackle.

Thanks for the great support here guys ;-)

@nialler: Is that a Spurdog you're holding there ?

Did you catch it from a Co. DUB shore ?
