Just looking for some help with sea fishing...

It rather depends wherabouts you intend to fish.  You're using an Irish ISP
so, around most of your coastline, at this time of year, I'd suggest you
begin by spinning - there should be pollack off most rock marks by now and
bass around the estuaries.  Float (bobber) fishing shallow (about a metre
down) anywhere you can get into the tide should pick up some tasty garfish -
and the odd mackerel but they won't be worth eating for a few weeks yet.

Cheerio,

Anyone here with local knowledge?

I'm in the south of England but I have you bracketed as I have fished the
coasts of Mayo and Strathclyde ;-)

Or, in other words, I've a rough idea of what tackle I'd take with me if
visiting your area.  My first reply wasn't far off the mark.  For pier
fishing I'd add a simple paternoster, fished straight down, to the list.

First things first:  How old is your son?  Unless he's rising teenage you'll
need to structure everything around his attention span, physique and
temperament.

If you take a look at the fishing site in my .sig you'll find a section on
introducing children to angling.  Take a look and get back to us here if you
still have questions.

Cheerio,

It rather depends wherabouts you intend to fish.  You're using an Irish ISP
so, around most of your coastline, at this time of year, I'd suggest you
begin by spinning - there should be pollack off most rock marks by now and
bass around the estuaries.  Float (bobber) fishing shallow (about a metre
down) anywhere you can get into the tide should pick up some tasty garfish -
and the odd mackerel but they won't be worth eating for a few weeks yet.

Cheerio,

Anyone here with local knowledge?

I'm in the south of England but I have you bracketed as I have fished the
coasts of Mayo and Strathclyde ;-)

Or, in other words, I've a rough idea of what tackle I'd take with me if
visiting your area.  My first reply wasn't far off the mark.  For pier
fishing I'd add a simple paternoster, fished straight down, to the list.

First things first:  How old is your son?  Unless he's rising teenage you'll
need to structure everything around his attention span, physique and
temperament.

If you take a look at the fishing site in my .sig you'll find a section on
introducing children to angling.  Take a look and get back to us here if you
still have questions.

Cheerio,
