JUST TAUGHT ID POST THIS IN CASE ANYONE ELSE WAS THINKING OF HEADING THERE,
well myself and dave were trying to decide where to go for a bit of decent fishing , at first we were thinking of hitting a wexford beach and had planned to leave early the monday morning, but it was my birthday on the sunday and i decided to have a little drink or 2 the night before our trip.,, anyways to shorten the story , when i finaly woke up it was 1pm and way to late to head for wexford, (i live in drogheda) , so we fliped a coin for either killoughter or killiney, and killiney it was , , every cast came back in the way it went out, bait wasnt touched at all ! and then when we decided to jack it in , on the last cast i caught a decent size edible crab , with only one nipper! so i let him back,,,,, GUESS WE SHOULD HAVE TRIED KILLOUGHTER INSTEAD was still good to get out away from the wife and kids hahahaaha




Report:

unlucky dave i was thinking of fishing killiney on saturday with a group of lads but you have made my mind up now (i am not going )

Had the same result during the day in greystones but when Night came in it was a different story, heading to Killiney with the lads on Sat, looks like its gonna be a long one but thats fishin for ya
Thanks for the post and heads up, was there any weed about?

Was on Killiney beach on sun.

Got there at 4pm and stayed till 11, all we got was 2 rockling.

There was fish there becuse we got nice bite and a slack line but I lost the fish after a few seconds.

Very comfortable beach tho.

Most important is where exactly were you fishing?

Straight out from the carpark or down by the tearooms?

Killiney is a strange beach at times and i will be heading straight for the dirty stuff on Saturday

we fished straight out from the carpark, iv always fished there , even as a kid with my dad and always got good catches, iv even got conger off the beach there, ahh well was prob just one of them bad days ,

At this time of year the only place that is fishy is the tea rooms sadly

I am only taking a dozen frozen crab on saturday and i feel confident that i will take a cod home

If i dont then its the best advertized blank this year

hard luck dave. we've been getting it tight ourselves the last 6 weeks or so with trips from belfast to donegal for only a few tiddly wee flounder or blanks
but soon enough the better weather will be here and we can get back out for a bit of day time fishing
keep the faith man
