Has anyone ever fished Skerries or loughshinny piers this time of the year or Donabate?

Skerries can be OK ,lots of pin whiting with the odd bigger one ,tiny codling and the odd flounder .its not spectacular fishing ,I'm sure loughshinny is the same but shallower.

Like already said, small codling and whiting. It’s rarely fished this time of year though and i’m Sure there’s probably more to be had. Probably small conger close to the pier too!

Ballytrent seems to throw an odd god fish up during the summer months. Flounder and an odd Bass.
