carrig island, ballylongford

#1 Post by sammypants 13 »

I'm going fishing in Carrig island twomorrow :mrgreen:
i'll be float fishing on the west side of island near the fort for mackerel, pollack and wrasse.
i'm going to use mackerel for bait
what depth should i set my float at and can i fish there all day or only at high tide?
i will probably dig some lugworms while i'm there for another trip
i don't have a bait pump so how do i dig for them?

thanks

You'd be better off targeting mack pollack and wrasse off a coastal rock mark not that that place doesn't produce them just less and smaller.
