Dingle

#1 Post by Jayball10 »

Story lads.

Long time no post as not fishing much. Heading down to Dingle for a few days with the missus for a break. Was gonna head over to Brandon for a pint but was gonna bring a rod and set of feathers. Any Macks showing up off the pier?

Not driving so limited to areas I can fish. Staying in the Dingle harbour area so was hoping to fish the lighthouse for some wrasse and pollock. Also gonna try the bay area for ray and bass. Anything happening? Might give the harbour itself a bash too.

I have the Bob Moss book and have fished the area a few times before so have a fair idea on areas but im sure theres a few hot spots that im unaware of.

PMs welcomed. Any advise gratefully appreciated and will be kept to myself.
