Spiddal Pier

#1 Post by jack01986 »

First sea fishing effort in quite a while and looking back it’s almost exactly a year since the last outing. Had an hour to kill on Sunday evening so got the LRF gear out and had great fun targeting the Ballan & Corkwing Wrasse. Took all the wrasse on a little 1 gram jig head and a segment of some gulp ragworm type plastic baits. Was great craic on the light gear.

Nice fishing Jack.What was the swell like.Heading down to Inishmaan Fri for the weekend and always nice to know what it’s like a few days out.Although it can be totally different out at the islands it can give me a bit of a idea.

I was on the new pier, I'd imagine it'd be decent fishing off the rocks where the mackerel guys fish.

can have numbers of small pollack - but nothing too exciting on the lure - very rough ground for bait fishing - best to stay on the pier if your planning to do that
