East cork yak fishing

#1 Post by Acro »

I got a kayak a few month back and now feel confident enough to fish from it I was just wondering if anyone could point out a half decent mark so I can try my hand at it. Anywhere between west Waterford and around cork harbour would be perfect.
Also is it worth splashing out on a fish finder?
How many times have people flipped these while fishing? (I'm prepared for it I just don't like getting wet!!)

Cheers Alan
