Sea trout

Lads,
Any advice on sea trout when they will start showing??
Any other advice on lures etc is appreciated.

I tend to leave them alone till late April, May at the earliest. Catching spent or half-mended fish is no good at all.

my best time this year was in may and June, slowed down after that. (on the dingle peninsula.)
I found imitation sand eels in yellow or blue most effective.

Hansen strippers, mepps, and small tazmanian devils, connemara krills, kilty catchers, and flashy silver lure will have its day

You won't catch them if they are not there! Between mid February and early May, they will take anything really. I would consider a full moon in mid April as the optimal time to get them.
