there are a few guys that spear around the Dublin area Marcin and I am sure they will see the post after a while and give you a few spots to try.

Hi Marcin. Closed season for bass is 15th May to 15th June. The rest of the year it's fine to take them but, as feargus says, only two per day. Salmon and sea trout are forbidden on the spear. All other sea fish are legal to take and have no number limits.
Some scuba divers and some anglers tend to dislike spearfishers and may even tell you that it's illegal but it's not.

Hi Abusing, yesterday was probably OK here but I had things to do. I went down today to a west facing cove but it was still a little choppy and no vis over 18 inches to 2 feet. Wind was Southeast force 5 or so. Southeast is never good on this coast for some reason.
Feargus, how is it up on the West coast? Bet it's OK up there. If it's calm over the weekend I'm hoping for a diving session Monday or Tuesday maybe. Maybe not too!

i think we may be a bit spoiled this side however. the vis is usually pretty good. but that's not the worst complaint.
have a lot of college work at the minute, but in 2 weeks, i should be able to snatch enough time to get myself submerged. Last edited by abusingelves; February 16th, 2008 at 17:11. |

Well finally got out today it was pretty darn cold but the water was nice and flat so after i defrosted the van i set off. the d3 said the temp on the surface of the water was 6C but the M4 buoy has it at 10.5C in either case i got back out and got a pair of gloves as my hands were sore with the cold. i only stayed near the pontoon and back into the harbour as there was some fog about at first and a few boats moving about so stayed close to shore. the vis was only ok some scuba guys said 4-5 m further out but it was more like 2-3 where i was so i looked for the small stuff and got a few pics. nice to get wet.

Hello guys Togo there just arrived in Dublin but sick from two weeks now so can't get in.
Marcin I had a look at Howth and the water was BROWN so I think that will need to wait a bit. I'll probably go for test my new rod arround the harbour in Dublin and malahide next month. The North side of the pier in Dublin by the wooden bridge looks to be good as the tide will probably feed the harbour with bait from the back of the sand ban c (Golf course). See you soon Togo Last edited by togo; February 24th, 2008 at 11:08. |

Today I chucked the diving gear in the car and went to check the water on the eastern side of Seven Heads. It was flat enough but not clear enough. Only about one metre vis at most.
I checked one night last week and saw two metres vis but it's been rough for a couple of days. Now if it would stay calm for two or three days...... Can't be long now - Surely ???

Hi all,
At last the wait's almost over, gonna get wet next weekend. First time since oct. Even if the viz is zero it'll be nice just to have a swim. Gonna take a trip to the sheeps head on sunday, should be nice and calm. |
