Section
Our Coastline
The Shannon Regional Fisheries Board coastal
boundaries extend from Hags Head on the Co Clare Coast, and includes all
of the Shannon Estuary to Limerick on the north side of the river, to Kerry head
on the south side of he river. See map The
region's scenic and rugged coastline offers exceptional shore angling.
There are 40 shore angling marks where excellent Ballan Wrasse can be taken as well as
Mackerel, Pollack, Dogfish, Bull Huss, Ling and Conger. The current Irish record Bass
of 17lbs 13ozs was landed at Doughmore strand near Doonbeg Co Clare on the 21st
October 2000. There are many piers along our coastline with miles of
sandy beaches to tempt you. Good sign posting to the popular angling marks, will
assist locating fishing spots. Our guides here can be accessed via our
Interactive Map or use the drop down menus above to select. If you need further
assistance, please contact the Angling Section by Emailing Brian Mc Manus

Chartering boats
For those who would rather do some Deep Sea
Fishing, chartering angling boats is
never a problem and can easily be arranged. Many of the Angling Charter Boat
operators offering services for Deep Sea and inshore fishing
carry all the tackle on board which can be hired for a small fee.

Charter Boat Operators

guest houses and other accommodation hosts are very often
specialist facility providers, so do ask their advise on fishing

accommodation for groups. You may also use the Boards accommodation page
