Type of
Angling Mark: Estuarine
Angling
Mark
The Northern side of the
Cashen Estuary is reached by driving south past Ballybunion Golf
Club and by passing the car park. Turn west on the beach and park
your vehicle beside the dunes. There can be good surf fishing for
bass when conditions are suitable, particularly on the extreme
mouth of the estuary. The flooding tide and lugworm as bait are
the best combination. Inside the estuary mouth and just below the
car park, is excellent flounder fishing on the flooding tide with
best results using crab bait.
Bait
Bait can be
collected in the Cashen Estuary. This can be reached by following
the road past Ballybunion Golf Club towards the estuary. A lane
or small road leads to the northern shore at the old ferry
crossing. Three hundred meters to the left and across a small
field is a good location for peeler crab under the weedy banks in
the muddy backwater. The thick mud here can be difficult to dig.
