Angling Mark
The south side of the main beach at Kilkee produces
flounder and occasional bass. A fresh water stream runs at Edmonds Point and the
ideal fishing time is the flooding tide in suitable surf conditions using
lugworm and fish bait. There is a car park at the end of the coast road south of
the town. The rocky outcrops are suitable for spinning for Pollack and mackerel
and float fishing for wrasse.
Bait
Bait can be obtained from White Strand Killard
beach 2.5 kms west of Doonbeg. The beach is in two sections and lugworm can be
dug here on the left hand side at low water and the first two hours of the flood
tide. Bait can also be obtained from Carrigaholt Pier which is situated 0.5 km
on the eastern side of Carrigaholt village. Access is easy and there is parking
on the side of the road near the main Slipway. Soft and peeler crab can be
collected both here and and among the rocks adjacent to the pier. Some lugworm
and small ragworm can also be dug in the sandy patches beside the inner pier.
