South Wall/Poolbeg lighthouse

#1 Post by alanpmccarthy »

Have been fishing here recently with limited success for mackerel on feathers so going to go back to fishing bait off the bottom, can anyone tell me is it worth walking all the way down to the lighthouse? does it have any effect on your catch or are your chances just as good at the half moon club?
