Hi all
I'm heading to Sligo in July and will be sneaking some fishing gear into the car. Looking on the web and Mullaghmore seem to be the only place I can find that might be worth a go.

Any Advise would be much appreciated.
Bait is the main reason I'm posting. Due to Laziness and lack of space for a fork in the car with the 2 kids I'm wondering is there a Bait shop in or around Sligo?
Regards
David

I'll be back by July so keep us posted on how you get on...DavidCostello wrote:I'm heading to Sligo in July and will be sneaking some fishing gear into the car. Looking on the web and Mullaghmore seem to be the only place I can find that might be worth a go.
Mullaghmore is ok, not great, recall being ate alive by the midges fishing the beach one year.
I also fished the other beach - facing south west - its a bit of trek from the Cliffony road. Remember getting some nice flats (flounder) further up towards the point in a surprisingly deep channel between it and some shoals (check the maps). I remember being surprised at the violence of the sea surging through...
Must be good rough ground fishing for wrasse and maybe Pollack in any white water- and if you trek all the way down you hit the channel that feeds the massive lagoon in behind Streedagh. Big tidal race - sea trout country.
Hope that helps...

Re: Sligo Holiday
Didn't get a chance to fish behind Streedagh in the massive lagoon but go a nice Flounder on the beach itself.
Really lovely part of the country.

Re: Sligo Holiday
Hi David, nice sized flounder there. We have stayed in Sligo a few times and I've spun and lure fished there and had a few small pollock, saw quite a few mullet around Strandhill but didn't fish for them. Must pack the bait gear and have a go for the flatties next time!
