Greystones Rocks

People: Myself

Duration:2 hours (8pm to just after 10pm)

Tide:Rising

Weather: Overcast but dry

Bait: Selection of lures

Results: 1 Pollock

Report:
I live in Kildare but as I do most of my sea fishing in Wexford I have never really ventured out around Dublin/Wicklow area before so this was into an unknown. I set up the rod and grabbed some lures and set off. I fished the rocks just down from the pier all the way half-way up the beach and back. I was delighted to catch the pollock as he came in the last 20 mins of fishing and hope and faith was restored.....even if he was only small!!!!
There was a couple of others there fishing for macks(no macks just small pollock too) and one guy on the beach. (he was at the very south end and didnt venture down that far).

A word of warning....the rocks in the area are quite jagged and slippery especially when the light was fading. I almost went down at one stage (probably because I was so intent on placing the life of my rod before mine!!! ).

As Im not used to the area any pointers into any bass areas (anywhere an hour either side of Dublin) would be appreciated. Im not looking for people's actual fishing marks but just some general pointers would be great regarding accessibility etc would be great.

Thanks Guys

Hi Newbie

Welcome to the site. Head up the end of the South Beach to after the stream (you can get access by parking at the end of the driving range and walking across to the top of the South Beach). Most of the lads at the top of the South Beach will tell you that they are spinning for Mackeral but in fact they will be spinning for Sea Trout . Saw a nice Bass take a Sandeel beside that 1st stream last week and there were plently of Sea Trout jumping around. Did see a trawler in that area a few days later so no doubt they are now all gone
