I was planning a camping/fishing trip to morriscastle in august with a few of the lads i fish with too get the most of the night tides and early mornings does anyone on this site fish it much? What species should we be expecting?? Bass,tope,flounder,dogs??? We fished it once last year and got 6flounder and 1pup tope in about 6hours that was the only time we fished it. Thanks
