Whiting Bay

Hi all,

Thinking of going fishing in whiting bay this weekend for bass and flounder. Have plenty of lugworm, hopefully get a few peelers . Can anyone advise me about marks? Tides? Has it been fishing well?

Also for summer looking to do a bit of surf/rock fishing around this area. Again can anyone please advise me on marks, Tides?

Thanks.

Thinking of fishing this the weekend of the 16th mklids, either there or ferry point. Let us know how ya get on if you decide to go. Good luck!

Guess how that mark got its name...

Was there today set up 1.00 till 7.00, high tide was at around 1.40, two other guys there fishing, had frozen mackerel + sandeels... blanked not even a bite Then the sun went down, and at 6.15 first bite and a 35cm flounder on the mackerel. next cast a dogfish stayed another while and then packed up.... fished there three times caught two flounder both after dark

Yeah will do Probably go Tomorrow!

Is Whiting any as good as Bass mark?
Drove by it a while back and it looked very Bassy!

irish record bass was caught in whiting bay in 1977 by a guy called malcolm tucker and weighed 17lb1.25oz dont know if it still stands it was caught on 27 4 1977

The current record was caught in Doonbeg, co clare. I think it was caught around 2002

Well mklids, how did ya get on? assuming you made it there of course?

Hi Tide around 8pm, good luck Mklids! A ray or a cod would be nice eh? cant wait to hear how ya get on.

Blanked . .Went out at 6 just below the 1st carpark and stayed till half 7. A lot of surf wind n' rain! Strong westerly wind.
Used Black lug tipped with small white rag and black lug tipped with peeler but not even a bite .

Sorry to hear that mklids. was weed or the cross wind causing you problems? I will be down there fishing one of those beaches or the estuary on Saturday. If you have any bait left you are more then welcome to join us.

It was the cross winds. I would say ferry point would be the best bet considering the conditions! Thanks very much will pm if around. Let us know how you get on

i think you might be right mklids, we will pop out for a look at the beach saturday evening and if its too rough we probably just hit ferry point.

Well all, not the best session ever. small coalies, whiting, codling, and a dogfish. Not a keeper among the lot of them. I will let you know when the next trip is mklids. I posted in the reports too if you want to depress yourself
