Monkstown Wall, 30/12/08

The Wall looked covered in anglers this afternoon when I passed. Can anyone let me know how the fishing is at the moment??

you can put any kind of bait you want on your hooks in monkstown and youll get whiting. doesnt matter if its squid, mack, lug or dog dirt. theyll eat it. usually little 15cm fellas tho with the very odd bigger one.

a few people told me that it fishes much better in daylight on a low incoming tide.
