arthurstown

going fishing in arthurstown on sun and just looking for some tips on bait and the sort. anything at all appreciated.

Hi,

Any bait will catch down there mate.

All fish can be caught with a gentle lob outside the peir wall.

Plently of small fish down the to under 1lb weight.

Use te lightest gear possible to get a bit of craic out of them !

HTH.

Hi

Fish into the rough ground at night with larger baits (crab and lug being good, squid a good tipping bait) on a coming tide and you can often pick up decent codling as well as pin whiting.
I have had rockling, strap congers and a small gurnard off it too when I used smaller baits.

FWIW

you reckon fish off the left of the pier then, i,ll try it pal cheers for the help.

Fish the corner of the pier if you can (usually occupied by an elderly angler, hes a decent bloke)

Cast into the mouth of the harbour for good Dabs.
Or you could aim a few casts towards the shipping channel.

Watch you bait, as the local rodent has a habit of stealing it !

i hear its supposed to be raining and windy on sun probably not the most pleasant place to be in bad weather, might have to re-think the plans, get there before the weather, i,ve been fore warned about the local wildlife but cheers anyway, hopefully it will produce some fish.

if the weather is bad you could fish a place called the rope,it s about half way between arthurstown and ballyhack,it can be a good spot too and is sheltered.
