Wicklow this Saturday

[geo82]

Hi, I am planning a trip to Wicklow this Saturday, and don't really know where exactly to go yet, went to Brits Bay last year for a session didn't catch anything, someone told me the bridge in Wicklow is good, but someone also said its not really a place for fishing. So I was wondering if I can get some advice from the experts here? thanks in advance!

all the anglers on the Dublin/wicklow coastline would love to be down in your part of the world, why would you want to fish up here.
I have only fished the north wicklow beaches recently and they have been full of weed so stay well clear

East coast is not great i wouldnt wander from where you are why do you want to come up here

i fished it on monday night, all i got was small dogs and tons of weed , all the weed was in close and all the dogs were out v far,,, id leave it for a month or 2 if i was you

I'm fishing kilcoole today so I'll let you know how that goes. Arklow south beach normally is fairly reliable for a few small species if you just want a change from the norm but I haven't heard anything regarding the weed situation there

Kilcoole not tooooooooo weedy today but very few fish also. Between ten of us there were only 9 fish caught over 5 hrs. It does fish an awful lot better in darkness though, usually with plenty of doggies, whiting , flatties , coleys etc

I fished ennareily on saturday nite and had a few flats up to 30cm. Also had a few decent doggies, and a few not to bad whiting. Also had a real decent fish I lost a few yards out, didnt get to see it but it was taking line and putting a real bend in the rod.

Did you fish on the beach or there is any other spot near Kilcoole? May give it a try tomorrow

I fished the south beach just straight out in front off the car park. Didnt want leave my car out off view as 2 traveler familys have set up house in the car park. There was no weed and some good fishing to be had. But that was now a week ago.

a good mark in waterford is worth four in wicklow on a good day....
