North or south Bull for smuts?

#1 Post by keithmc »

Hi lads just wondering which of the bull walls would be better for smuts? And also how far down the either one?
Any help greatly appreciated, cheers lads!

Cheers mcg2k, how far down can you actually drive or how much of a walk is it? Pardon My ignorance I haven't set foot on the south wall since I was about 5 :D

you cant drive further than the first pumphouse. Its a long enough walk (or it seems pretty long) about 15mins. You can fish from just past the pumphouse near the car park on a rising tide for bass casting towards sandymount.
