fishing Howth pier??

#1 Post by sean2k11 »

Just wondering if you'd catch anything from one of the piers in Howth this time of year.

Tiddler pollock, pouting and whiting. Mini dabs and doggies up around balscadden. I keep saying im never fishin Howth again but somehow always wind up back there every so often. Best of luck.

I've fished off the ends of both Howth piers and behind the west pier a few times. The best I've done is two small-ish flounder off the end of the east pier in spring last year. Attached is a map which basically summarises what I've learnt from a few other, more experienced anglers met in the area. A seal is omni-present during the day. Also attached are some photographs I took whilst getting a sun-tan a couple of weeks ago just to give an idea of the place. Note the squiffy angle of the rod (strong currents, no where to set rod nicely, should get a stand for it). They are at low tide.
