Weekend away in feb help!

#1 Post by myworldfishing »

Hi all I need your help deciding on a place to go for a weekend away with the better half.

Every Valentines we have spent it sitting in and Im board of sitting in, so with the woman liking a bit of fishing we decided we would do a weekend away from the kids and cram in some fishing, so Iv been looking around but finding it hard to pick a spot..


I know that there is no 100% sure thing when it comes to fishing but I want to make sure I am picking the best chance for us to catch something, it's not often I can talk her into something like this so want to make the most of it..

So far I am thinking:
Waterford : Tramore or ardmore.
Cork : Somewhere around the harbour, any where in cork really.
Kerry : Dont know many places around here.

Our target: Anything other than whiting and doggies...... :)
So heres the question, If you were going on a weekend away where would you pick to maximise your chances of catching a fish in feb?
