Poolbeg

#1 Post by DessieD »

Hi All. Only got back into fishing last summer, and haven't had much opportunity to get out this winter.

I'm hoping to get a few hours in soon, and just wondering if Poolbeg serves up anything this time of year? Or am I better going off some other pier / beach - based in Dublin but have transport so can travel a bit.

Thanks, in summer I went about halfway to the swim place, but will of course go further if need be!

Had an odd flounder there this time of year 100 yards from the car park. Might be more variety on offer further towards the end of the wall?
