The only bait shop near skerries is the arrow hardware in stevenstown,balbriggan.they only stock frozen bait,no worm,but if you do find time to dig/collect i know a couple of lovely black lug beds close by.

minty - it was only my first time trying up there

had heard plenty of bad reports - and im afraid i can only add to that - 5 hours and not a sniff - not even crabs

no surf - really bright day - was directly west of the pier on the other side where there is a few rocky outcrops aswell as shingle - but didnt hold anything

i now have a scout on recon up there now :lol: - so will let you know

Sorry corbyeire,thought you had skerries sussed man.you should`ve asked as i fish up n`down that way alot and would`ve gladly helped.you chose probably the worst spot imho,1 mile nth or sth would`ve been 100 times better.
