Caught a few nice pollock, up to about 6lb from the back of the East pier in my teenage years :D That was 12 years or so ago but id say its still worth a shot.If memory serves me right it was silver jensen spinners that were the best.I also remember getting some great plaice some as the saying goes "like dustbin lids" for a short period while they were doing some sort of work in Dublin bay from the back of the west pier.

Hi sea serpeant i fish in dun laoghaire fairly regularly, i have no interest in cathcing tiddlers either, some reasonably decent fish can be caught down there, i had codling, coalies, flounder, rockling all to a fairly decent size last year. Gimme a pm if your thinking of heading that way.
