used to fish it when I lived in North County Dublin. To be honest I wouldn't waste my time there as it tends to be a summer mark for Mack and the odd pollock but you have to contend with masses of dudes with telescopic rods, massive weights that are steaming on cheap lager.......... :evil:

Appart from that its grand....!

The odd time I fished it was at night with lug at the end of the pier. Only a few small fish such as flats and small pollock.

Oh and I forgot to mention the seals.......

Fished off the Harbour in January at night time to see of there were any Cod Whiting around! Not even a bite for 2.5 hours fishing. Not much around up there!
