ample parking in the lay-by and access is good. This beach is
used as a match stretch and many shore competitions have taken
place here. Species caught here are thornback ray, bull huss,
dogfish and conger. The usual method is bottom fishing using fish
bait, crab and lugworm on a flooding tide.Glin pier fishes well
from either side during at high water for dogfish, small conger,
flounder and whiting using fish bait, lugworm and ragworm.
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.
