lads north beach me favourite venue.
its only worth bringing 4 baits, rag, crab ,sandeel and mussell,
sandeel kills the dogs and picks up the odd codling.
mussell a must for the coalies close in that are starting to show up to 3 or 4 Ib
crab killer for the codling and wrasse in the rough up at the top of the beach.
rag great all rounder can pick up anything.
Top bait rag and crab cocktail.
Fish at the top of the beach under bray head for codling , coalies wrasse odd dog and strap conger.
Fish the arch in the middle for whiting , dogs and odd coalies and flats.
Near the harbour end is last resort stuff but can fish for good codling after a good easterly, this could be a good bet for 2moro as an easterly is forecast for tonight. fish razor after an easterly.
now for the optimists- every year the north beach throws up huge loner bass in october and november usually at either end of the beach for some reason, for these fish close in with big hooks and big baits - king rag, crab or a whole calamari. - fish big.
also for the optimists at the top of the beach in the rough there are some conger and theres one bait that for me has outfished anything else and this is whole smelt wraped on and blasted its just the right size to cast .
use wire because ive taken the odd tope and big huss using this method as well
hope this helps you lads in your compo one last thing the north beach fishes 3 hours down and 2 back up, so tide for your compo 2morolooks bleak.
my tip wold be to blast 3 sandeels ona short and simple 3 hook as far as you can for the dogs because at high water on this beach it can be terrible.
