Type of
Angling Mark: Two Piers
Angling
Mark
There are two piers at
Tarbert. One is used in conjunction with the Killimer Ferry and
the other is an older construction. Bottom fishing in relatively
slack water is carried out on a flooding tide from the inside
pier for flounder, dab, plaice and dogfish using crab and lugworm
as bait. Fishing in darkness produces conger at both piers. The
main pier is best fished during slack water because of very
strong tides in the area.
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.
