Herring in Dun Laoghaire
I caught a few Herring off the west pier in Dun Laoghaire today while trying to get a late Mackerel or two. I was surprised, didn't really think you could catch them in Ireland. I'd say about 10 were caught in the time I was there.
Entries now open for the Henry's Tackle Shop All Ireland Shore Smooth Hound Championships on July 18h hosted by Sea Angling Ireland SAC
