Whats fishing where and when?

#1 Post by SteDublin »

Hi All,

I'm looking to get back into fishing after a 10 year hiatus. I have all the gear albeit in a state of disrepair.

One of the things I am looking for is a chart or something like that, which has what is in season (does one exist? my goggle searching has been unsuccessful). What is out there on the east coast?

I live in South Dublin so I would be generally fishing from Sandymount to Wicklow from shore.

I know this is a very newbie question, but i'm starting from scratch again, any guidance would be much appreciated. All I remember of fishing is the the peace and quiet, and the occasional cold wet wind in the face!

Cheers,

Stephen

Inland fisheries Ireland website above is a good resource. They have shore fishing maps of each stretch of coastline, giving you a breakdown of fishing marks and bait collecting locations. As Corbyeire mentioned, it's slim pickings at this time of year, but keep an eye on the forum here and you'll get an idea of what's going on around the coast.
