Visiting Cork for Shore Fishing. Some Help Please

Myself and a few guys are visiting Cork for three days shore fishing in September. Can anybody help with the following:

1. A good hotel/pub close as possible to the coast where there is good fishing banter, ale etc.?

2. A good beach side campsite to base ourselves?

3. Some lure fishing tips?

4. Some advice on best beaches to fish?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS

Hi Nick, you got anywhere specific in mind at all ie south, east or west? Most places will be fishing well at that time.

wherever the bass will be? We have a vehicle so will be fairly flexible on location.

Hi Nick

Asking where the bass will be in Cork is a bit like asking if there are "langers" there too! :lol: Use the search facility here on the baords (nea the Album above) and you will find lots of threads / references, my recommendation would be to try around Clonakilty / Roscarberry / Timoleague, but that has as much to do with the town, pubs and craic.

The entire coast is outlined on the shore marks section on the front of the website at http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org Hope this helps...

Nick,
I'm not sure whether you got my other message because I've had no reply?
As I said before "Lunker" by name "Lunker" by nature. I failed to mention my all Irish shore record for the tompot blennie before so read on!
If you want serious fish look no further - I have been doing some serious recci's on the west coast trying to get a bluefin off the shore. So far we have hooked eleven but only managed to loose line very quickly. We have however had 9 double figure bass more or less by accident using large surface poppers. If you want a piece of the action give me a reply and I'll act as a guide for a small sum. I am a recognised guide now. If you dont fancy that just just get back and I'll give you a few pointers

Bob,
Thanks for your keen interest in my september quest. Most interested in your record tompot although I suspect that this was a lump sucker. The feathered forehead does not necessarily indicate a king goby. Also interesting to hear of your success on the surface poppers, kindly share more information on the colours that have been successful to date. The last I heard was that a 1ft long popper white belly and green back is the killing ticket. We already have a guide for our trip, Conger John from Kinsale, 50p and a pound of grapes will get us a whole day of useful tips. Sorry.

Any further info much appreciated.
Best Regards

Dear Nick, sorry to hear you won't be requiring my services - I have a impressive track record! That Conger Colin is a total sand dab and whiting man and likes a bit too much of the black stuff!
That poppers doing well are indeed green and white and called Leeky critters and work best with a drissle of pilchard oil coolee?

I will be coming over to your neck of the woods, to North Wales for the bank holiday and hope to try a few marks on the Holy Island with a revolutionary new lure which is groundbreaking and going to do some serious damage. Are you able to make it 'cause I'm happy to share this find with you then???

may see you about
