Well, the annual holiday for the family is Waterford, Ireland. Anyone got any pointers for that area? Just taking sea gear this time. We're talking July/August so Bass springs to mind, but isn't the pollack fishing meant to be awesome there? Any advice much appreciated

Scarborough is about 50 miles south of my neck of the woods (Teesside), but great sea fishing up there. Whitby, Saltburn, Scarborough, even Bridlington and everything in between. Cod are caught from the shore in the summer, crazy!

Sorry mate, I know **** all when it comes to coarse up there!. As you know, I grew up sea fishing up that way, so I always assume that people will be doing the same

FLAMINGO LAND! Been there loads of times as a kid. Excellent place actually, I remember being told off by a teacher for feeding Trebor mints to a Lion

Hi Rob,

Well you've picked a good time and place mate. Excellent fishing down there. For Pollock fishing just look for rocky headlands and tide races around the rocks for Bass and you won't go far wrong. And don't forget the Awesome Wrasse fishing...thers a few sepcies points for you already mate

And try this website.

Then go to the maps section for sea fishing in Waterford.

Have fun.
