    I'm going to Duncannon next week and decided to dust off the rods.
    I used to mainly fish for salmon and trout.
    Are there any good spots for sea or game fishing In the area?
    What's can I expect to catch?

    Thanks for your help.

    Your in a prime location for Bass, cod, pollack and all sorts....

    Hook head you can target pollack, bass and wrasse, Im sure theres more but thats what I would target there.

    Passage east, Cod, whiting and flats from the ferry crossing. Iv heard on the waterford side they get herring when the mackerel are running.

    You have a number of locations all around you for any type of fishing.

    Im not a plug or spinner man, Im bait all the way but If you make it to hook head Id be on the lures... if your fishing passage east, use lug and crab baits on 3 hook flappers.

    I personaly believe every beach is different, so I always try to fish the full tide if I can, if you get there at low and fish it till atleast 2 hours after high, its allot of hours but a great way to stay away from the kids lol and always at night.

    Or if you can fish up to high tide as its getting dark.
