Hi all, my boat is going to be in Greystones for the next couple of weeks. I can't say I've ever fished from there before, so looking for a few general pointers, and perhaps some up to date fishing info. Weather permitting, I've a practical range of approx. 12 miles from Greystones harbour.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Greystones
You won't need binoculars you will be able to talk to me from the shore When I'm out fishing in my new boat. Dublin is all trial and error I don't use any electronics when fishing there lots of visual marks
