has anyone fished here recently, thinking of heading here over the weekend and was wondering if anyone had any info on it. what state of tide does it fish best at what baits and what species etc. i have 20 crab and 80 big big lug is this enough (hoping maybe for bass flounder and cod am i wasting my time?)

Inch will be afloat with weed at the moment. The place is getting battered again today, if it settles down towards the weekend you should be ok though. I like to fish one down and 2/3 up, but others may have differing ideas. If you dont fish to the top of the tide you may not have as much bother with rafts of weed as these will all be closer to the HW mark, provided the sea settles a small bit.

Inch is a lovely beach and always worth a chuck if you can avoid the dreaded weed. You should get a fish or two. Ballybrannigan is only up the road too.

Beware this beach is also used by surfers who don't care if you were there before them.

Got to agree with Donal D on the surfers. I've had more than one session screwed up by them last year. I went there one night at around 10 in June thinking I'd be ok and there were at least half a dozen still surfing. Now I'd only recommend going there for a late night session. Forget about dawn or dusk in the summer. Pity, because I'd love to see what it fishes like around that time without surfers. Guess I'll never know..
