Mark
Carrig Island is situated
about 5 kms north west of Ballylongford. Access is via the bridge
onto the island and immediately after the bridge, a right turn
leads down to the fishing mark. Park 100 m from the turn and walk
across two fields until the beach is reached. Bait such as fish
bait, crab and lugworm on a flooding tide produces bull huss,
thornback ray, dogfish and flounder. There are several rough
patches to the left of the beach which should be given a wide
berth if tackle losses are to be avoided. About 400m to the left
there is a point which produces ballan wrasse, dogfish and bull
huss. During a survey some time ago large fish were lost here.
These were thought to have been tope.
Bait
Bait can be
collected at Carrig Island. The bait location can be accessed by
crossing the bridge onto the island, turn left and follow the
track to the end. Lugworm can be dug there in the small sandy
patches among the rocks. The worms are large and of good quality.
Some soft and peeler crab can also be collected there.
