A local-first guide to shore fishing on the Dublin and Wicklow east coast.
The site
Irish Shore Fishing is a practical guide to shore and sea fishing on Ireland's east coast, built by a local angler based in Greystones, Co. Wicklow. Live session scoring still focuses on Wicklow marks; Dublin Bay has indexed guide pages for access, species and tides.
Wicklow spot guides, species profiles and tactics are based on real sessions on this coast, not written to fill pages. Dublin guides are researched from published mark notes and labelled with confidence so you know what is field-proven versus still thickening.
The site covers beach, pier and rock fishing from Dublin Bay through Wicklow, with a focus on what actually works here, in Irish conditions, on Irish tides.
Location
Based in Greystones, Co. Wicklow. Live scored Wicklow marks from Bray Head to Arklow. Dublin coast guides cover Howth to Killiney (plus Skerries) without changing today's plan rankings.
Read the editorial policyThe author
Shore angler based on the Wicklow coast. I built this site because the information I needed when I started fishing here didn't exist in one place, and what did exist was generic, inland-focused, or years out of date.
Every spot guide on this site is a mark I've fished. Every species profile is written from sessions on this coast, not copied from tackle shop guides. The live conditions verdict draws on current coastal weather; summaries refresh on a rolling schedule so you are not guessing from stale screenshots.
Fishing the Wicklow coast since 2018. Live scored marks: Bray Head to Arklow. Dublin Bay guides expanding. Sea fishing only.
