Never had much success on the boat in winter ,I’d be fishing around the skerries islands and between there and balbriggan,I got the odd codling but usually you just get plagued by small whiting ,there probably is other fish there but the whiting always get there first

Hi eoghanb
Thanks for info. I fish around Howth and Lambay in season and am tempted to give it a go this early. Tigh lines for this year.

I don't know your area but see if there is ground you can fish with lures. Sometimes winter can be tough with, as the lads say, droves of small whiting about. We tend to lure fish during the winter unless we can get out to ground where we can expect bigger fish.

Thanks Jim will give it a go on lures when weather permits to get out.
