Mark
This beach is situated on
the main road from Glin to Tarbert just beyond Glin Castle.
Parking and access is by the sea wall where the road leaves the
shoreline. This venue is a match stretch and is a 300 yard walk
from the access point. Species caught here are thornback ray,
bull huss, conger, dogfish and flounde, using crab, fish bait and
lugworm and fishing the first half of the flooding tide produces
the best results.
Bait
About half way
between Tarbert Village and Killimer Ferry terminal, there is a
weed covered point. Soft and peeler crab are plentiful here under
the weed on the foreshore. Crab can be found 20 feet from the
high water mark and the best time is within two hours after high
water. A muddy patch to the right of here where lugworm can be
collected. However the stony terrain in the vicinity can make
digging somewhat difficult. There is another location nearby at
Foynes where some soft peeler crab are available under the
seaweed between the swimming pool and the yacht Club. At low
water, access is possible to the west of the Yacht Club point.
