Winter Fishing

#1 Post by MackerelMaster »

Hi lads , i'm looking to get a bit of fishing done over this coming week , Dun Laoghaire and Killiney are close to me so pier or beach fishing are the options , just looking for tips on where exactly to go and which bait to use ? Want to have a fair chance of catching something , species doesnt matter ,

Cheers :)

Killiney beach should give loads of whiting with coalies and flats showing too. Best bait is lug tipped with squid or mackeral.

as bigSod said their should be a few whiting around with the odd coalie and codling showing up on killiney,try and get some of your fishing done during darkness,evening tides look good for this week :wink:

sections of sandeel whipped on with bait elastic will get you whiting and if you bind it on tight you will get 3 or four fish out of one section this will save you baiting up alot and keep your hands warmer :lol: size 2 aberdeens just dandy :wink:

Would there be in sense in going at 3pm (half an hour after low tide) or would chances of catching something be limited as opposed to going at high tide ?

Cheers
