Mark
From Tarbert this venue is
3 kms to the east of Ballylongford. To get there take the shore
road and turn right at the Shannon Development sign. At the end
of this road, there is parking on the left where there is access
onto the beach. Fishing is on both sides of the road. This is a
weedy stretch leading onto mud interspersed with rocky outcrops
which needs to be seen at low water. The best of the fishing is
at low water and the first three hours of the flooding tide using
fish bait, crab and lugworm. Species caught here are dogfish,
bull huss to 12lbs, conger, flounder, codling, whiting and a
possibility occasional thornback ray.
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. Bait can also be collected at Saleen
Pier which is situated off the coast road to Tarbert, about half
a kilometre from Ballylongford. Downstream and beside the pier
itself are excellent sites for collecting soft and peeler crab.
Access is easy and car parking is available beside the pier.
