I'm looking for a bit of info on the road bridge in kinsale. My back is giving me trouble again with muscle spasms, a sprained joint in my neck/shoulder and some problem with nerve endings so i can't cast. The road bridge is the only idea that i have, using a boat reel so as not to shear the gears in my 7ht reel. If anyone can tell me what species might be accessible here to bottom fished baits. Or if anyone has a better idea for an area that i might be able to fish. Any help appreciated.
Tight lines,
Evan

Re: Kinsale road bridge?
A lot of small fish off the bridge the channel is on the Sandycove side
Youghal Bridge might be a better option there should be a few cod showing there by now.
A far as I can remember the best spot is between the 2nd and 3rd arch on the Waterford side.

Re: Kinsale road bridge?
As Donal says a lot of small stuff, I've fished it a couple times when I've been weeded off the beaches further west and had mainly whiting with a few codling, the odd rockling and very odd eel. Definitely wouldn't be my first port of call if I had a choice.
