Dublin Marks for great fishing plus bait shop

[I Love Sea Fishing]

Hi all am flying in to dublin at about 2pm on the 15th oct my who is picking me up from airport said we can go some where in dublin or that area seeing as the tide is around 6pm i think, we need live lug really but any information greatly accepted. I was thinking about Howth, what do you think, bait shop there?

Cheers, Jake


P.S Not ever caught a sea fish in ireland, Nope Never! 3outa3= Blank

if you fishing the dublin coastline i really advise you to head a little further south than howth.. maybe killiney or greystones... fish an incoming tide with two or 3 hook traces... dave tilly off this site should be able to arrange bait for you if you ring him a couple of days in advance

Been fishing killiney the last few weeks usually around 8pm different tides and not much catching there at all , few whiting and codling

You been trying the rough ground near the tea rooms?, you should get a few better fish there, you may loose the odd trace but ive had good Codling, pollock, coalies and bass at the tea rooms albeit a few years since I fished there.Dave Tillys the man for the bait alright, just make sure you arrange with him a time to collect it.

the roughground is the only place worth fishing i have had bass to 12lb in the area it also throws up some big resident cod an wrasee... but as sod said its a tackle graveyard

[bigsod]

Some fish for your first bass, my first was from there too, bout 10 lbs smaller though

killiney is one of my fav marks on the east coast highly under estimated by most dublin anglers....

[roger de dodger]

their are alot of people who drive miles from dublin for fishing ,me inclued and alot of the time great fishing can be had locally ,its just a matter of finding where fishes on what tides

Dont go near Howth. Its a baron wasteland The only fish to be had there is in Burdocks mmmm......

[DAMIEN]

to be honest howth isnt as bad as made out to be around this time of year,often fish balscadded rocks as its easy to get to and pretty local to me,only once have i fised there and not caught a fish be it a whiting or a flat fish,but as the lads said if your after half decent fish a bit further down the coast line is way better

Ah no way man. Cafe Ciara is the only place for fish and chips. Plus the battered spice burger.

Ah i suppose "Baron wasteland" is a bit harse I actually gave it a go recently as i was lazy to travel and had some small Pollock and Whiting on a lure. Balscadden will get ya Whiting, Poor Cod, Dab and Dogfish but all tiddlers bar the doggies.
