You won't go too far wrong with the Rathmullan tide times http://easytide.ukho.gov.uk/Easytide/Ea ... onLength=7

The difference is approximately -5 hours if you don't wish to go by the above link.

Your probably better leaving it a month or 2 as fishing is really poor at the minute!! We fished a master angler comp on Portsalon Beach last week and the fishing was awful!! Leenan Pier would probably be your best bet with the Plaice starting to show! Its the middle of May before the Raymonds start to show in any numbers!! Tide tables for 2011 can be found on the link below. Just double click on the area that you are fishing and it will give the tides for the coming year. :wink:
