Hi lads, i have been invited to a pals place to do a bit of fishing, he lives about 5 miles downstream of new ross on the river barrow. Has anyone ever fished this area ? And any advise would be great.

Are you talking about fishing the Barrow or local sea fishing ?

Hi Kevin, what i was hoping to do is fish the river near my pals house, it is tidal and at low tide the mud flats are exposed to the channel.

Flatties, Codling and maybe whiting. Down at the Passage East Ferry, these are normal catches, and in Waterford, Flounder and Codling.
Good luck

Thanks Heath, will put out a couple of rods and see what happens. I gave my pal a loan of a light shore combo but he only got tormented by crabs on no bites. I also looks like a spot where a mullet might hang out but i didnt see it in summer. Thanks again. Fionn
