East Cork Beach Advice

#1 Post by Hagar the Horrible »

Hi

I'm heading down to Cork at the weekend with the family but am planning on getting out for an early morning session. Can anyone advise on a good beach , I'm hoping for a Bass. Was thinking about one of the Garryvoe beaches or Ballycrenane, that general area ,but know nothing about them.

thanks.

tightlines ive had a look at the site and it looks good but it still needs some work like on some of the marks pages the picture in the back ground obscures the white writing and on some there is a few spelling and grammer mistakes, on the fish type page some of the pictures are mislabeled. All in all though it is a well built site but in need of a little more work.

thanks for the help Guys. Tightlines, i've been on your site a few times and have found it very informative. Looks like a lot of work went into it, well done.

For the record I fished Ballycroneen beach Saturday morning for the last 2.5 hrs before hight tide and caught nough. Weed was a bit of a problem.
