Wexford trip

Mon Nov 03, 2014 11:53 am

Hi all,

I'm thinking of heading down to Wexford town over the next couple of weeks and might get a session in. I'm looking for somewhere local enough (within 30 mins drive) of Wexford town where there is a decent chance of picking up a late bass or some codling. I was hoping to lob out a few baits while wading out with the spinning rod as well. Any advice about a good mark for this and bait tips would be appreciated and treated in confidence. I can swap a mark or two in South Dublin with ye and when you have stopped laughing about that offer a PM would be appreciated.

Stephen

Hey Ste. I've been fishing the area a lot lately and while i'm hearing the odd bass being caught i'd suggest trying for the Codling instead of your planning on driving so far down. I'd suggest travelling towards Arthurstown, Ballyhack and Passage east if you trying to stay within 30 mins of Wexford.
