Sea fishing Stradbally beach/Brandon Bay kerry

#1 Post by Olwas2014 »

I live around this area and want to go fishing. I don't really care what I catch I want to go fishing for the enjoyment. I fish a lot so I would like to fish from the beach. Is there any reports of catches here or will I just try. If I catch anything I will let ye know.
Thanks,
Olwas2014


P.S I'll be fishing on Saturday coming.

I see your new to the forums but thats not the kind of info you should be putting up in the public domain. Mention the catch if you want but dont mention the beach, especially if their not your fish.
