Last minute break need a hand! Redbam beach Youghal

#1 Post by Tommy B »

Hi lads

I have just been informed by the wife that we are heading to Youghal Redbam Beach today. Obviously I have a few fishing visas but have never been to here. I have a dodgy right eye at the moment so really dangerous marks are not for me. Would anyone be able to put me on a handy accessible mark for pollack or wrasse as I'm sure there is loads looking at the coastline on OSI.
Would really appreciate any help (pm's are welcome)!

Thanks in advance

Tommy

Cheers Donal
I'm not there Saturday, typical that's why I'm lookin for a bit of fun with wrasse and pollack. I heard of some Gilthead Bream around so you never know.
May even try the beaches or the estuary with some Power Isome for the flounder that'll be a challenge for me.

Thanks again
Tommy

Well just back from the area yesterday and thanks lads for the heads up. I just fished the estuary with some iso worms but no luck.
It was such a lovely spot though and very very easy to get too.
Thanks again
Tommy
