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,
