Hello all.
I posted a few months ago about fishing in Baltimore, after spending a few weekends down there and asking about I was advised to either see about a place on a charter or move further along the coast as there's not many, if any (safe) spots there. I live in Cork so I've been thinking about fishing closer to my home than when I get the use of a house down west.
The plan is to head into a tackle shop over the next few days and get rod, reel and what I need (I've about €100/€120 to spend.) Then, Ringaskiddy is (sort-of) within walking distance from me (it's a bus, walk or lift for me as I can't drive.) Can anyone clue me into what I should be looking out for down there?
The last time I walked around the harbour there was when I was about five years old. There was the slipway (what is the old slipway now, I guess) and a field edged by sand and marram grass. It's all changed with the maritime college. I've seen "Paddy's Point" mentioned, along with fishing from the bridge. I don't know where exactly Paddy's Point is and I figure I'd need a drop net from the bridge, something not in the budget at the moment.
Any help would be appreciated, about ideas for fishing there.I did a search already, and that's where I got Paddy's Point from. Apart from that there's a presumption of knowledge beyond what I have.. My plan at the moment is to get a 240cm or so rod that that's rated at a medium, spinning reel, and some soft baits and lures. Then to head there around 90 minutes before high tide. If I'm on completely the wrong track, let me know. Monkstown and Cobh could be on the cards when I'm a bit more clued in and less of a nuisance to anyone else fishing there.
