Newby to Shore Fishing, Help needed

[John Hartigan]

Hi all,
Just a quick note to ask for a bit of help from some experienced people.
I am new to shore fishing, i have fly-fished for trout for about fifteen years but would like to get in to shore fishing much more now....

I live in Clonmel Co. Tipp and so am looking at fishing mostly between youghal and dungarvan i think, i researched a few marks on the net but basically i am wondering where would be the best place to go and start out (maybe collect some bait too, crabs worms ? ) I was thinking whiting bay, but as i said I'm just not sure enough about anything yet

Looking at going Monday or Tuesday of next week, depending on weather.

(I have done some sea fising before, so I roughly know what I'm at)

[cortaz]

i,ll be fisin clonea mon/tue afternoons if the weather is ok. and i can get worms if you want to meet up

[JimC]

Hi There

Forget about digging lugs in whiting bay gone very scarce.
better around dungarvan.
Cortaz will show you where.
Also he started me out U won't get better
Best of luck

Ps Not posting much little access to computer and when I do line is useless

I didn't get down Monday or tuesday this week at all.... ( sister broke her wrist and i had to drive her to cashel, Very inconsiderate i thought )

But am deffinitely gonna get down either next monday or tuesday,

That sounds briiliant cortez, will you be there next Monday/Tuesday (11/12), at Clonea ?

[John Hartigan]

Doh, Cortaz even....

[cortaz]

if theres a bit of surf and the water clears, its like soup at the moment.

Hey John,

Couple of us gonna give Clonea (side down by the toilets) a go on Wednesday morning if (as Cortaz says ) its clear with a bit of surf.

Winds hopefully will have died down a bit by then (accuweather says they will )
HW is @ 11.30 approx - should be there about 10.00 or so...

If your interested....come on down

John.

Hey Kraken

How did the fishing go yesterday ???

I didn't get down again this week at all, its just getting rediculus at this stage, i'm changin jobs at the mo and its all just a bit hectic so .........

But the good thing is after dec. i'll be working for myself and can go fishing whenever i want , and i look forward to making up for all this lost time

Hopefully i can meet up with some of ye then and learn the ropes

Thanks again for all the interest lads.
