Angling
Mark
Just below the village of Kildysart lies the
winding Kildysart Creek. A road runs down to an old quay wall where there is
ample space for parking. Flounder are plentiful. Crab bait fished on a flooding
tide in the centre channel produces the best results. Float fishing for mullet
is also possible at high water but ground baiting is essential.
Bait
Bait can be
collected at a road bridge about 1 km on the Kilrush side of
Kildysart village. Beyond the bridge is a left turn down a track
which has two gates. Parking is on either side of the causeway.
Soft and peeler crab can be gathered under the patches of weed on
either side of the causeway. Bait can also be collected at
Shannakea Beach. Parking can be located at the end of a track to
the beach. At low water, soft and peeler crab can be collected
under the patches of weed in a 200 meter stretch below the access
point
