Greystones or N.beach Wicklow?

Hi lads wondering if yous could give me some advice? Bringing a few mates out on Sunday to either Greystones or Wicklow,Only getin back fishing after 10 years!! used to fish Greystones beach with great success, wondering if its still produces? I know the lads cant cast very far so was thinking a few hours on wicklow pier then the beach. Is it worth the journy or should i stick to Greystones? Gonna be fishing from afternoon onwards. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

If I was you id head for wicklow pier the big tides will not make for comfortable fishing on those beaches.

only small dogs bein caught off them beaches now, id go down further, killoughter or the gannons

gannons was full of weed last weekend, not a good place to be starting out again after 10years- you will only give up again! kilcoole and killloughter look similar. the drive down to killoughter is fine if you have a jeep or a car you dont mind grinding! go somewhere handy and get a few bites -hard to beat!

Greystones south beach was very productive on Tuesday night, with a very welcome surprise guest showing up On Thursday night, conditions seemed perfect with a nice surf running but it turned out to be pretty unfishable with strong winds running down the beach, blowing straight into me earhole, and the weedfish out in force; one every cast.

Try the rocky cove to the southside of greystones harbour. You dont need a cast here; the fish are practically under your feet. Float fishing in close can be fun here. Use small hooks, size 4 and lower. Aim to be fishing here on the rising tide, say 2 hrs after low water. I find the fish tend to ease off here around 2 hrs before high tide and the bigger tides not as productive.

Dun Laoghaire harbour was good last Sunday. Float fished on the west pier between the first and second elbow. 7 fish in an hour (wrasse, pollack, pouting and codling). Nothing massive but a bit of crack all the same. You also have the chance of a few mackerel.

i think a harbour would be a good choice more chance of fish even if smaller bray greystones or wicklow or arklow all good bets no big casts required and a chance of mackrel of all of em
