Report:Headed to Greystones after work with big mick, stopping in Bray to get bait. Had to think twice about it when we got to Greystones as the sea was very rough with waves crashing in. We decided against our first option, the steps, as that spot was taking the full brunt of the waves and we would have got soaked at high water, and set up across the cove on higher ground on the rock ledges. We were more sheltered here from the north westerlies . I set up on a slightly lower ledge than big mick ,and paid the price later
. Almost immediately i was into whiting ,which took all combinations of bait,mostly rag tipped with squid. I got a shock when baiting up when a big wave crashed in and gave me a good soaking, washing most of the bait away,luckily enough i was able to gather it back up . I had good waterproofs which kept me dry but must really invest in some good warm fishing clothing. I hadnt enough layers on and later on the cold started to wear me down. I had to move the gear back a bit but it wasnt dangerous or anything, just when the waves crashed into the rocks it sent a big spray in our direction. Shamoo (Mark), dropped by on his way to another mark, and by that stage i had 6 fish, with big mick waiting on his first. It was 6-30pm before big mick finally reeled in his first fish, a whiting, and our mini comp ended 16-3 to me 
. I got a small liveley coalie on the small rod, in close,which took mussel, but had to put that rod away as conditions were too bad to be looking after 2 rods. A dab and a rockling completed my species tally for this session as it was too rough at the base of the rocks to be hunting small fish.I got a fair few soakings throughout the session and it was only when i got home and unpacked the gear that i fully realised how wet everything was. We were glad we didnt set up at the steps as we looked across the cove, 
,,, it was disappearing every now and again under water . Things quietened down (for me) for the last couple of hours after high water and the mack on its own didnt seem to be attracting anything but mick got another two whiting , which left him a happy camper and we headed off at 8-30pm for food and warmth .Dave,,,,,,ps ,, im guessing a coalie by the straight lateral line and the shape of the tail??????
you think I'd learn 
than up here
(dogfish, flounder very small bass and of course some mackerel). I´d like to try greystones soon (am not very familiar with the area) and I was wondering if u might have same advice for me where to fish (south or north beach?), about bait, tide etc.
