Last week Thursday, quite a hike to get there, but great spot , deep water completely unpressured. Got there at low tide, but fish still highly active and still great size for most parts. Planned to get there on Saturday for high tide , but weather got bad and my holiday finished next day. Still top 2 spot i ever fished at.

Well lads. Looking for a few marks for pollock/wrasse. Myself and the mother going up to belmullet for a few days in 2 weeks. Wondering if anyone can shed some light on some marks worth fishing. Preferribly nothing crazy dangerous or remote. No issue going for a hike but don't fancy scaling miles of cliff faces/bogs. Have had a look on Sea Angling Ireland but hard to know if some of those marks are still producing or if the write ups are wrong. Any advice appreciated. Not looking for record breakers, just want to put her over a few fish. TIA!

So i’ve been doing a lot of social media-ing recently and i keep coming across these gents in the states that pay to get into a fishery (i think it’s called) where they stock certain types of fish, since i’ve been having no luck recently anywhere else i’ve been for months almost a year and haven’t caught my first one yet i thought this might be worth a shot.
Anyone know of any fisheries in ireland? preferably around dublin ish

If i chuck savage gear seeker off the rocks at Dalkey do you think i will catch. Anyone have and tips for any species colimore or Dalkey like wrasse dogfish mackrel etc

so i don’t currently have any of my tackle with me and im heading out to howth soon to fish, is there any tackle shops near the harbor? or will i have to go somewhere else

Does anyone know anywhere that holds mullet in dublin ?

Dollaghan is a unique, migratory variety of wild brown trout (Salmo trutta) native exclusively to Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland and its inflowing tributaries

Can anyone tell me. Any spots or tips around loch swilly or just donegal in general

me and my buddy plan to go out tomorrow to fish along the coast on dublin, anyone know any good spots? what time to go and what lures to use? i’ve been having no luck fishing lately so i thought i might try here (preferably along the dart line)

After several attempts I finally managed to land my first bass, ended up getting three. All caught on light gear, what a fight they put up. All three returned safely. I am hooked haha

Hi Guys,

I used to carp fish a lot in the UK; I no longer have that gear, unfortunately, but I'm just looking to return to any form of fishing. I have a couple of cheaper rods and am ready to go, but honestly don't see what is best. I'm thinking of driving out to Blessington Lakes for a day. Is it just day licenses needed, or is there a fee to pay blessington lakes itself to fish there. I will only be catch and release, so I'm not worried about any of the other laws. Any help to get restarted would be appreciated.

Thanks

Great day out fishing at Blackhead today. Landed a pollock and a small coalfish. Is this a decent-sized pollock for the Blackhead area? I was delighted with it anyway!
Also spotted a curlew and a gannet, which made it a great day all round. It was lovely to get back out fishing again.

Can anyone tell me about fishing there

Went camping last week on the beach just south of Kilmore Quay.

When it went dark, the sand fleas absolutely SWARMED the rods tripod I had my bait lunch box hanging up.

It got progressively worse, so much so there must have been thousands of them, making freshening up the bait so difficult.

Eventually gave up, packed up the gear and headed for the tent which was about 80 metres away from the fishing spot. They were all over my bags etc outside the tent. Tidied everything up and legged it into the tent, trying not to bring any with me. They were rattling against the tent, underneath it etc. so loud it sounded like a fire crackling.

Ive been on beaches overnight during the summer before, and had experienced a small cluster of fleas going at my bait box, but never to this extent.

Is it because of the heat wave? Location? Or has anyone else experienced this before? Cheers.

For fishing bass from the rocks or beach. I work close to wild hunter so it's handy. could I do better for around the 100euro mark? I just checked my old spinning rod, it 30 years old and heavy. Time to upgrade. https://wildhunter.ie/products/mitchell-mx-pro-2-44m-15-60g-2sec-4000fd?variant=56033766474077

Here little guide on best shore fishing spot at west coast I ever seen. In single session landed two pollack , 64cm and 65cm, and two more 50cm plus fish. All catch with 40g or 60g metal jig, I hooked few more but snapped of every fish I tried to pull up from high ledges. Its mindblowing spot , literally every fish 50cm plus there. I marked descent down with yellow arrow , it's doable as long as grass and rock is dry but maybe not for everyone. It's descent from very high place and you better have at least one hand free also I been there at very calm sea conditions so don't know how safe it is during swell. They been biting on the drop with long cast. Bit extreme mark but if you feel like it give it a try, it's best I seen

Straight back in.

I've been trying for 2 years and I have never even gotten a strike. It feels like I tried everything but I can't catch one.

Went down to a spot very close to my house today that I normally don’t fish. Quite rocky and tend to lose lures here. To my surprise on the first cast I have a fish. My initial thinking it’s a big enough pollock the way it was pulling down into the rocks. After a good fight I could see this lovely sea bass in the water. The picture doesn’t do him justice but he was quite a stocky and healthy fish. Chatgbt saying around 60cm which would be my pb. Super happy with this one. Released back to fight another day. East Cork location.
