Hey I was wondering is it too early to spin for any type of fish, I know the mack don't come in for a good few months but is there anywhere that I might catch something? I'm based in Wexford if it helps
Thanks

Re: Is it too early to spin?
I think you can spin for sea trout in the Wexford district from 17th March.
Better check the local regulations first.

I think anything above clohamon on the slaney is FLY only so just be aware of that - Google slaney trust and it gives you all the details.

Would it be worth spinning at Hook Head? When do the pollack come in?ardinn wrote:I think anything above clohamon on the slaney is FLY only so just be aware of that - Google slaney trust and it gives you all the details.

Re: Is it too early to spin?
They say you can spin for sea trout at the southern end of Duncannon beach, would it be worth a try or is it a load of sh*te? Thanks for the infogannet wrote:I think you can spin for sea trout in the Wexford district from 17th March.

Re: Is it too early to spin?
I don't know Duncannon beach but I know that any beach having a river flowing into it is worth trying for sea trout particularly near the river mouth.Teegerstk wrote:They say you can spin for sea trout at the southern end of Duncannon beach, would it be worth a try or is it a load of sh*te?

Re: Is it too early to spin?
The map shows two streams at the East end of the beach.
May be worth a throw there a couple of hours either side of HW.

Thanks, I've never spun from a beach before, only on the rocks at Hook Head, how would I go about doing it?

Re: Is it too early to spin?
I would recommend more research on places to spin. Last year I've travelled several places and could not catch until summer. Especially South-East Cork.
