Good advice from Thomas there Forest :wink: . If I was going near anywhere Courtown i'd get some bait in Courtown Angling and get the up to the minute local knowledge as to whats happenning Fishing is hit and miss at the moment along the East Coast, though you still have the chance of Smoothies on crab baits at distance. Good luck!!
