wicklow coast line

#1 Post by beechtrawler »

Hi all,

long time reader, first time contributer :D , i do some day and night time beach fishing along the coast of wicklow and only ever seem to catch dogfish during nighttime and maybe a flatty or two during the day time, i use rag, lug, mackeral and squid as bait, i would like to improve the variety of fish i catch.
Should i travel further down the coast to wexford, should i change my tactics, should i be using different bait for example, any replies would be welcome,

beechtrawler.

Your best bet is to try and join a local club, they will show you where you may be going wrong.

There are bass and ray around on the wicklow beaches.

Try varying your casting distance, and try different tide times and sizes, big baits and small baits too.
