Newcastle County Down

My Brother has just moved to Newcastle, hes told me he is very close to the beach and also there is a pier too.

Does anyone fish these area's and what gets caught?

Also where is the nearest tackle/bait shop?

Might go over for a few days - Brother seems keen to have a go.

Hi mate there is a shop on the main street in newcastle that sells fishing tackle it s not just a fishing shop it sells sports gear and pet supplies cannot remember the name but if you ask someone local im sure they will point you in the right direction. i have never fished newcastle beach or pier but im sure its worth a shot again ask in the tackle shop hope this helps a bit, let us know how you get on.

HI, i think that tackle shop is called the four seasons. Its on the main street and you have to go to the very back for the fishing gear. Not a bad shop and they are very helpful. During the summer i was in newcastle a few time with the child and they gave me a few marks to go to but they were a bit dangerous to take the kid too so i passed. So if you do get some fish, give us a report, i would like to try some of the marks that the tackle shop game me, just no time at the minute. Goos luck anyway.

Hi, my brother was involved in a serious car accident and is now back on his feet and ready to have a go.

He has told me he has spoke to people fishing the harbour wall and beach and has a rough idea of whats going on.

Im hope to go over for a few days in August - what will be around this time of year?

Im going to get him to sign up on here so you might see a few more posts on the area soon.
