Irelands Eye

Anyone ever fished off here?,somebody was telling me(a bit vague though) you can get a boat over from the east pier at Howth harbour and come back on a later boat?,would love to give it a go,anyone have any info on this would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Richie.

yea richie ur right, there is a fella that goes from howth harbour over, i had his number on my old phone but the screen broke on it. ive never fished it but im sure its worth a go. if you ask around at the harbour someone will point you in the right direction, but as far as i can remember his boat is located on one of those piers in between the east an d west pier

hi,what you do is walk up to the shop anns,and follow the pier right up,you'll see a sign on the edge of the pier saying something about the boat....as far as i can remember its 10 euro for adults and 5 for kids....hope that helps you

East Pier, half way up on the left you'll see a sign for the Dublin Charter (I think its called). Moored right there, steps down to it.

Cheers lads,will give it a go in a week or so and post report as soon as I can.

There's plenty of pollack around, some decent sized ones too. Also plenty of wrasse off the back (the side facing away from Howth). I haven't fished it from the island itself, but have fished it from a boat within spitting distance of the shore.

Plenty of wrasse in the lagoon on the back of the island beside martello tower. Had a 5 pounder a few years back. Apart from there I have no idea

Cheers
