I would like to do some beach spinning in or near youghal.
But dont know where to go or what spinner s to use .

i would like to get some pollock if possible.
any help will be great.

thanks in advance

You could try Caliso Bay, Go from Youghal toward Ardmore, take the underpass for Ferry Point. It is sign posted from Ferry point. The beach has a good drop off into a bit of depth. Try a small german sprat fished close to the rocks at either end of the beach. But be prepared to lose a few baits While you get to gauge the retrieve rate to keep you hooks off the bottom. By replacing the treble hook that comes with the sprat by fitting a single hook will give you a bit more survival rate when you do encounter rocks or weed. I have been told that surface popper plugs work here also, but i have never had any success with them myself.
A german sprat will set you back around €1.80. Plugs from €5.00 to €25. Happy hunting.

thanks will do that some evening this week coming

No problem Ger, there are some other marks West of the harbour, Knockadoon, but this is a very precarious location and while the fishing there is generally good, i would advise caution and recommend that if you do try it, that you dont go alone and always wear a buoyancy aid.
