You could try Killiney Beach, I've been informed on here that it is fishing well with a great variety of species, no great sizes reported, but it may just help you graduate, and it's less of a haul than killoughter.padraig wrote:Hi folks,
Im a newbie here, doing a little sea fishing and trying to graduate from Mackerel/Pollack off Dunlaoighre to a little bit of beach fishing. I am from Dublin, a complete novice too, so am completely green with regard to Wicklow marks.
I was hoping to ask you vets a question about access to Killoughter beach access. I am planning to head down there at some stage soon, was just scanning the routes and Killoughter Lane isn't mapped online properly. Just wondering if you guys access via 5 Mile Point and stroll downwards, or is there reasonably good access at the end of Killoughter Lane?
What i could see on google maps, looked verrrry bad.
Cheers lads.

Spot on padraig, experiment with the rigs, casting, find where the gullies are, the channels ( Google Earth Is good), try go down at low water to survey the area, and don't be shy of asking locals or anglers. There are good links on this forum for rigs and you could always ask for a link to some rig building sites, or YouTube isn't bad, (TaFishing is cool, TOTALLY AWESOME FISHING SHOW).padraig wrote:Hmmmm! This is food for thought, thanks men.
So at the moment, a lot of what I am trying to do really, is learn the basics; build rigs, learn different baits, figure the weather and timing the tides etc. I was thinking I might learn a bit more about the water down south.
But what ye are saying makes sense, and there is so much to learn; probably best to learn the rigs and baits closer to home, then when comfy explore a little more.
Gents, thanks again for the input.

I have to say, I've been overdosing on the TA fishing show. I know he might not be to everyone's liking, but that Graham chap is a great character. I love his approach to it and how he interviews really knowledgeable people too.

Agreed. I've been watching his videos for years and he has all the tips needed for beginners. Really helped me out when I started.

Don't be afraid to try some marks you can't find any info on there isn't really any good shared info on Dublin marks (for good reason!). Keep your hard earned discoveries close to your chest for the most part! Codling are in now btw

Thanks for the information!! Any decent size to the codling?? And if I'm not being too cheeky?...... North or South shore?
Think I will head out tonight after reading your post.
