help for a newbie??

Hi everyone,

Im a newbie to this website and was hoping for a bit of help regarding locations in wexford for camping and some good fishing.

I dont expect anyone to share their secret spots but any general help would be appreciated

in the next couple of weeks i am hoping to travel to Wexford by car from Dublin for a weekend of camping and fishing, preferably looking for spots to do some wild camping.

I would be extremely grateful for any suggestions of anywhere in Wexford where this would be possible and also the type of fish that i might expect to catch in that area??

I would really appreciate the help guys.....

Thanks ...
Jay

kilmore quay could be good mate you would have a choice of shore and boat fishing there

i find down around hook head fethard area the best and if you go in behind slade harbour and through the fields you can fish off the clifftops haven been there in about 3 years but last time i did got pollack coalie pouting conger and mackerel in juneish if i remember right

Cheers lads, Much appreciated!!!

Just regarding throwin a tent up in those areas, would they be quiet enough spots or would they be fairly busy??

i've never fished outside of dublin so i wouldnt know what the areas would be like....

Thanks for the help lads

Toberpatrick (near Ballymoney/Courtown/Gorey) is a great spot for a bit of "wild" camping as you put it although it may be a bit early for the better fishing off that beach.

Its a long shallow clean beach and you should be getting flatties, coalies, whiting, rockling, dogs etc at this time of year, maybe a few schoolie bass, give it a few months and the better bass and smoothhounds will be around.

If you want camping with a little more luxury, I have been to the campsite at Morriscastle which is grand, if not a bit pricey.........but at least you can get a hot shower in the morning, your also only a 2 min walk from the beach.

Same type of beach as above, but I'm told there is already the odd smoothhound being caught along that stretch.

Hope that helps.
