You'll get rockling, coalie and conger on greystones North beach, in fact I think I had five species there one night.

conger on the beach...? worth a try. saw a dog take a pirk this year and wrasse caught in the middle of an estuary channel so i guess anything is possible

Yep I've had two straps there, one of them almost on the 10lb.

theres a big rocky spit that you can see at low tide when heading towards shankill, its just before the shaganagh river, bring plenty of leads!

ennereilly for huss, smouth hounds, and mayb the odd ray... use crab baits

Wheres Ennereilly...??? how far south down the coast.

ennereilly is south of Brittas Bay, but before Arklow. You can turn off at the Widow Scanlon's pub, and then follow the road on the coast south. you'll see the fishing sign.

isn't here a good chance of bass at ennereilly too? how about ragworm as a bait there, crab is a bit hard to come bu.

I've taken some nice flounder there too...

Courtown north is fishing well for ray at da moment wit fish baits.

uvox i think you might be getting mixed up :lol:.

the widow scanlons pub used to be on pearse street in dublin.

the pub you are talking about is JACK WHITES pub.
thats the widow NEVINS pub :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

ennerielly / courtown, sounds promising will defo give one a bash maybe friday evening/night. chasing my species before the weather turns. species junkie now dont know why that came over me in the last few weeks but good fun to target specific fish rather than just wetting a line. should never have joined this site too many marks to fish now lol, all good though. the missus isnt gonna be happy.

thanks for the info lads, hope theres no red herrings there :lol:

rag @ ennerreilly should get you a few flats and whiting at least, throw a crab bait out aswell if you can get it... i found sandeels work well down there too... my best catches have all been at dusk on this mark, tide never seemed to affect the fishing there much, let me no how you get on, tight lines

right yeah - jack white's (the widow nevins) pub, not the widow scanlon's. pubs - you'd think i'd be an expert by this stage.

agreed - dusk is the best time at ennereilly.

any of these spots good on the fly???

I have seen people trying the fly up around the rocks up at the Brittas Bay end, near the river, but don't recall anyone catching anything. it used to be a good spot for sea-trout, but illegal netting there has ruined that - it got so bad a few years ago that there was a garda car parked permanently on the bridge over the river.
