Hi Darren , i'm from down kilmore way, the forlorn point is very rocky and not ideal for ground fishing, you can spin off it at high tide alright from the burrow side, can be a tricky and dangerous venue and not ideal starting off.
You could maybe try the back of the pier in kilmore quay should throw up a few fish or even the burrow west of the quay this fishes better at low water. Plenty of good spots around pm if ya like or ask the locals when you get down.
Long time no sea.

Plenty of coalies off the pier in Kilmore... :wink:
If you get out far enough (seaward) you could hit Pollock.

Hi Darren, Lug and Rag will work for almost all species down Kilmore Quay way, if you go down to the burrow you would expect to come into some Bass and flounder and like the lads said maybe a few Coalies off the pier. Good luck with the Sea Angling!
