Looking for a good mark - Wicklow to Wexford

#1 Post by Strangefruit »

Hi

Me and a buddy in Arklow are looking for a half decent place to fish over the xmas period, will be fishing for half a day and the night.

We don't mind anywhere from Wicklow to Wexford as long as we don't spend the night scratching our arse's!! :(

Any advice on a few good marks would be appreciated.

Have fished Ennerielly and South Beach, Arklow which are ok spots but fancy a change.

General beach fishing, any advice on bait and rigs would also help greatly

Many thanks :D

judging by the wind direction for the next week most east coast marks should produce ,did you try anywhere around kilmore quay the south beach should have a cracking surf with bass,codling,dab,coalies and flounder ,bait would be lug razor squid and mac ,you,d want to wrap up warm that wind is gonna be bitter, stick up a report to let us know how ya got on where ever you end up and bring a CAMERA :mrgreen: p.s welcome to the site :wink:

Cheers for the welcome and info Roger

Decided to do a quick impromptu session last night, ended up back in Ennereilly (North Beach).

Everything looked perfect.... tides, wind, surf

Fished from 4pm to 3am, 5 whiting :( All came within first 4hrs!

Normally fishes better than that.

Heading out again later this week (will have to bribe the wife!), will definatly give Kilmore Quay a try and let you know.
