Irish shore angling is among the best in Europe.
Shore Angling is one of the most popular forms of sport. It can be divided into three forms; beach, rock or pier. Beach anglers most often seek bass, ray or flounder, while rock anglers look for pollack, wrasse, mackerel or ray. If you prefer pier fishing the fish you most likely to catch is mullet, dogfish, ray or flounder.
There is no closed season for sea fishing in Ireland so it may be practiced all year round. Fish which feed throughout the year, such as cod, coalfish or flounder can be fished for each month while species such as wrasse, pollack and dogfish have a natural season extending from April until October.
