Cheers Paul. Did I meet you a few weeks back in Greystones. With a picture of a toothy dog fish on your phone?? Cheers for the update.

Anyone fish the area today? Any update appreciated.

HI guys,
Very new to sea fishing and I'm wondering where would be a a safe bet around Friday/Saturday? I tried Five Mile Point last Sunday evening but it was very very bad with weeds. I've a good bit of experience with river fishing but sea fishing is a complete new world for me to be honest. Thanks in advance.

Arklow harbor clear of weed but not surprised by the size of the waves crashing in flooding the pier and crashing over the back of the pier :roll:
