Re: clougherhead
Fished the area a few times not great results ,plenty of small stuff,but the cliff area looks really fishy but plenty of evidence of unsporting anglers fishing all summer,I gave it a good go one day last year in August with lures and bait ,but only got micro 2 micro pollack,no wrasse which it was famous for,and not a tap on the beach caster,the place was manky rubbish everywhere old camp fires and tonnes of cheap beer cans,I tried any spots I could get to same story,so if u normally go south stay goin ,it wud be a waste of petrol,the beaches can sometimes through up a few fish but the fishing is nothing like what u get Wicklow Wexford area,and as for cleaning up the headland myself I'd have needed a small skip
