poolbeg lighthouse,dublin

#1 Post by thelegend »

hi ,i was wondering if anyone fishes poolbeg anymore,im from dublin myself but moved to the country years ago,i remember many double figure bass caught by my dad at the half moon,and on big tides during the winter we had fine codling and whiting,and fished and caught plenty of congers too,it was back in the 80s and early 90s last time i fished there ,so was wondering ,theres lots of dublin anglers on this site so maybe get a few replies as to how it fishes these days? ,thanks ,james.
