I think your only chance is Cappoquin, there is no water in the river.

thanks stylie a lot of rivers the same this year. do you know where i can get the day ticket for cappoquin is it heavily fished there

you can fish in the blackwater lodge at 80e a day he is getting maybe 1 fish a day but definitely not worth 80e

cappoquin is 20e you get a day pass in the post office in the town

fish the dropping tide and the low water yields best results but still i have seen 20/30 people fishing one stretch fish jumping everywhere but wont take

last week there was a few taken below with 8 on one day but its very very frustrating`, saying that id rather pay the 20e and know you are at least covering fish than 80e and be doubting if there is any fish there

its mostly shrimping down there too

thanks popsy
do a small bit of shrimpimg but its mainly worm fishing i do.do they use the float in cappoquin the same as the moy or on the bottom just ledgering are the pools well marked or would i need a bit of local knowledge to know where exactly to go.

People do worm fish also but it's mostly shrimp and it can be hard to worm fish with floats everywhere ha

You will get a map when you get your day ticket lately most of the fish seem to be in the kitchen pool or the hut pool
