I am thinking of trying Greystones and was wondering where about's i would be best to park up and what part of Greystones fishes best this time of year.
What will i catch where and what tide to fish and the best bait.
Would i be better off on the right of the harbor wall.
on the beach if so where about's.
or to the left spinning over the rocks.
is there anywhere to buy bait close by.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Fed up with blanks.
cheers
Greystones

Re: Greystones
I have fished the beach just below the ramp at the train station and had success, its shelves off quite quickly, you could try all along this stretch, flatties are quite close and I had about 15 Doggies in one session back in february of this year but thats the usual story on alot of beaches, I dobt mind catching them but depends if your after something else.

Doggys are better than Blanks but would hope for some thing else.
A smooth hound a ray or a bass would be nice.
But i do want to try Greystones.
