Beach Advice

#1 Post by Sponge Bob »

I normaly fish harbours and safe rocks due to my 8 year old tagging along who is an avid fisherman. He's been at me to go beach fishing for a while and it's been an age since I did so. Used to head down to Greystones and Kilcoole direction. If anyone could give me some advice on where might produce on a mid day high tide I'd be gratefull. He'd be happy with anything at any size. Based in Drogheda so don't want to be heading too far south. PM's welcome.

Clogherhead beach is probably the best shout at the minute, you will have a little more surf there then on any of the others that corby has mentioned, they are all great spots but without a little bit of surf it will be a fairly slow day, the beach in clogherhead will throw up plenty of flounder and dabs with rag and mack on size 2/4's. you might even get a few schoolies if your lucky!

Thanks for the replies and advice lads. Will give the Louth beaches a go another day, but have to head to Dublin to pick up the Dad to go with us, so i'll try a Wicklow beach tomorrow.
