Wrasse fishing

#1 Post by andyfish »

hi all i wanted to target wrasse around the Dunlaoghaire area, when i put my boat back in a couple of weeks . I read on the shore angling Q&A about using floats could the same tactics be used from a boat ?

Usually a few wrasse to be had around the islands at Dalkey. :D
Have never float fished for them though.

if the boats anchored and you are fishing from a stationary platform i cant imagine it would be much different to the shore, just depend on current and water depth, i would reckon if the waters any deeper than say 30ft it would be better to just fish the bottom anyways
