Hi lads, I'm heading to kilmuckridge in wexford next weekend the 15th to the 18th and I'm going fishing for a few days. Just wondering where around here is good to fish for some ray or smoothies as I've never caught one from the shore or even just some decent fish as nothing spectacular has happened for me in Dublin?
Also tactics and bait choice info from some of you seasoned pro's would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance and ill be sure to put up my first report after that weekend, hopefully its a good one.
Will
info needed please

Re: info needed please
Thanks for the replies lads, just wondering where should i try in courtown as i've never been fishing outside Dublin/Wicklow so haven't a clue about this part of Ireland with regards fishing and what would the fishing ground be like, rocky/ sandy/ mixed?
Also what kind of species could i also expect to encounter if i was lucky on this trip?
Thanks again for the help!
