Should I fish this today?

Not the regional pick for today.

The live call prefers Greystones Harbour & Pier (2:00 PM to 6:00 PM). Fish here only if you already know the ground.

Hazards

I'd skip a dumping shore-break, a hard onshore gale that fills the gutters with weed, or a dead slack with no colour.

Pack essentials

  1. Pulley rig at distance (hounds) on open beach
  2. Ragworm AND peeler crab (the documented best baits for the spring hound run here) for smoothhound / bass
  3. Parking / access: Limited at the end of the access road
  4. Exit route clear before you cast

If I were fishing Five Mile Point, I'd walk the tide line first, find the gutter or colour, then fish smoothhound with one honest flood or ebb rather than casting blind for hours.
