Hi all,
All my shore fishing to date has been on the south coast, mainly around the cork harbour areas. Now im living in dublin was wondering if anyone can recommend some decent marks on the east coast, dublin area? Main target is bass but fish for whatever i can at times, cod, flatties etc.. Took a spin up around rogerstowns estuary last week, any recommendations, tips for here or anywhere else for that matter? Thanks Leesider

Over 65 views and not one reply?? All the boys keeping their tips and marks close to their chest as if i would be out on every high tide fishing for gold! Laughable.

Re: New to the east coast
most people dont like to name marks on a public forum especaily dublin marks so get out there and fish and find out for yourself were is good and were is bad

Re: New to the east coast
Fair enough Shane but its not like I'll be out everynight taking whatever fish are there. I'm just looking for some pointers as Im new to the dublin area for fishing. I have some brilliant bass marks in cork, one or 2 that i found by just trying every inlet, bay and muscle bed i came across. Thing is I have shared them! Anyway, no worried. Looks like ill just have to start fresh up here. Thanks

Re: New to the east coast
only after seeing your post here is some info killiney beach can give up some nice fish when fishing well and the rock marks around dalkey are good in the summer also white rock beach near killiney can be good poolbeg is a good spot for smooth hounds when there in dont know much about the north side of the city but have heard around dollymount and the malahide eustury can give up some nice bass in the summer best time to fish is evening on a rising tide for all marks this info is only my 2 cent worth hope it helps

Re: New to the east coast
Thanks for the input lads, I have been trying for bass up around rogerstown lately but drawing blanks. Fishing with lures on the flood but nothing happening. Weed coming in with the tide so tried using poppers...still nothing. Its like been back in cork again trudging my way round the coast for years searching for marks. I feel like a virgin angler all over again!! haha.

Re: New to the east coast
maybe a little trip outside of dublin might help, ie the wicklow area plenty of spots to pick from like wicklow harbour, brittas bay area, and bray,but5 within dublin poolbeg not bad, collimore and donabate/portrane on northside, best of luck,
