dun laoghaire Harbour

[chenz116]

Im bring my little on fishing at the weekend and was thinking of trying dun laoghaire harbour.

im gona set up a float rig for her on a small cheap rod i picked her up and i'll be fishing one from the bottom and trying out my feathers too

What im wondering was would you fish the East or West Pier ?

[Cormdogg]

West pier, less dog walkers, chit chatters, more to be had on the float from the west pier in my opinion

i was on the east pier this evening and only had small wrass and there was a auld lad at the band stand that had only 2 mack and that was 9 o clock when i was leaving and i was there from 5.30 dont know what band stand you are talking about but i think the west is by far the better pier

[Stephen8wood]

those macs were on the east pier.

[chenz116]

yea but from the band stand so i presume they were casting into the harbour ??

I was gona try get the best of both worlds

[Stephen8wood]

Just don't hit the HSS with a 6oz gripper weight. They get cross about that sort of thing.

With regard to the West Pier, is it best to float fish inside the harbour at the end of the pier or off the wall out to sea? I've tried the latter before with feathers but I'd imagine a float might get in everyones way? I should say it's macks I'm after not wrasse

[Gilks]

Chenz, the last two sets of steps on the west pier might be best because the water is calm enough for float-fishing but still deep enough for pollock and mackerel. Not sure about east pier.

Just wondering what do you put one the float rig ?

feathers or usual hook and bait
