Loads of ling got from the shore... Just very hard to find a spot to get them.

how is greystones south beach fishing at the moment

As has already been said you need to fisnd deep water. We had them to eighteen pounds last year but that was an exceptional fish, with a double figure fish a great capture and the average more around 4 - 6 pounds.

some of the spots we fished when we went down to you paul were seriously deep water marks

If you can stay at Paul's, he will point u in the right direction. The fishing and scenery is stunning and we look forward to this years stay

You know this thread has really surprised me. Ling from the shore is something I have never even thought of but seeing these pictures is cool to think that these fish can be caught from the shore..

You can catch them off the 40 foot but if your fishing it be prepared to lose some gear

you can't fish there anymore unless you have a step ladder with you to get the gear over the 7 foot gate there now

I was down there the other day.

Oh right they're new gate obviously didn't last long I haven't been there since last October but it was a nightmare then that's good to hear

Anyone catching anything at poolbeg ?Last few times Ive been there and havent caught anything on rising/ dropping tide , I dont tend to go all the way to the lighthouse as its always crowded .I fish both sides ,on the rocks after the half moon and opposite that on the liffey side. I go directly from work as its close so I dont have time to get live bait and have been trying sandeel jelly lures and spinners and feathers targeting mackeral , bass or anything really.... using 2/3/4 ounce leads ..Any help /advice/reports would be appreciated ...Thanks
