Fishing near Balbriggan, Co. Dublin

Balbriggan sits on the north County Dublin coast, where the Irish Sea and a handful of small rivers shape the local fishing. The town's own harbour sees some mullet, while boat anglers work the Cardy Rocks to the north and the sandy ground to the east. The Delvin River, just a few kilometres away at Gormanstown, and the nearby Nanny estuary at Laytown add estuary and beach options for bass, flounder, and sea trout.
