west of ireland storm beaches
hi all.with all these strong winds and rain,i just drove to a local beach near me to find a good long running surf up.now wat i want to no is that do any anglers find these beaches any use for fishing on.my thoughts wud be different if i lived down south where i cud say the surf beach cud be good for bass but up here theres not alot of bass around.with the heavy pounding waves breaking to the shore line and starting a long way out do u reckon that it is still possible to get fish in these wild fast moving breakers.???????????????????.or is it a waste of time

Re: west of ireland storm beaches
I love fishing those beaches, usually throws up plenty of flounder along with the odd bass and up near you, plenty of trout!saving private brian wrote:hi all.with all these strong winds and rain,i just drove to a local beach near me to find a good long running surf up.now wat i want to no is that do any anglers find these beaches any use for fishing on.my thoughts wud be different if i lived down south where i cud say the surf beach cud be good for Bass but up here theres not alot of Bass around.with the heavy pounding waves breaking to the shore line and starting a long way out do u reckon that it is still possible to get fish in these wild fast moving breakers.???????????????????.or is it a waste of time![]()

Re: west of ireland storm beaches
Yup, without waders you wont be able to fish it properly, cause the water generally moves up to 60 meters between wavesdoggie3131 wrote:like chris said,Bass,seatrout,flounder,turbot,mackerel,are all potintial catches on these beaches,chest waders are the order of the day on beaches like that tho!
