[corbyeire]

ive suckered a novice into giving me a lift down this side tomorrow - but unfortunately its a low tide in the evening

are there other locations possibly better to fish on the low tide - in this general area - that i have absolutely no experience of !!!

with him being eager i want him to get something so hell be hooked - will mack for a few dogs suffice

thanks for any advice coming my way

Corby you should bring some Ragworm and you will pick up flounders close in, I fished it last week and the dogfish were scarse but there is normally loads of them...

My preference is the rocks to the left of the small beach/cove, fish as close as you can to the security fencing that has restricted access to the harbour, fish 3 hook flappers from 20-60 yrds out for dabs, flounder and dogs.

Lug/rag tipped with mack will do the trick, keep your hook/bait size quite small.

I tried fresh mussel which I had collected in monkstown last time I fished there and the fish seemed to like that - Mussel can generally be bought from a fishmonger quite cheap, superquinn also has mussel at there fish counter sometimes aswell.

I wrap a load of them onto a baiting needle( a small stick/twig/kebab stick will do the trick), then wrap it tightly with bait elastic to make a sausage - simply cut the sausage to size/in chunks when needed (presentation didnt really matter I found so long as it is on the hook securely), mussel apparently has a scent trail as strong as a good peeler crab bait.

Good luck, looking forward to the shore report tomorrow
