Shore Angling at New Quay, Co Clare

Location: Shannon Estuary, Co Clare

Nearest Airport: Shannon

Type of Angling Mark: Shoreline and quays

Angling Mark

Two miles to the west side of Kildysart village is a fresh laid track which gives access to the shoreline and quays. Several Shannon tugs are based there in the deep water berths. Fishing from the eastern end of the quay produces bull huss, thornback ray, conger, dogfish and freshwater eels. The fishing is consistent at all stages of the tide and mackerel, crab and freshwater eel are the best baits. Bull huss to over 10lbs are taken regularly. These big fish are difficult to lift up the quay wall and so it is imperative that anglers carry a drop net with them. Development works have been undertaken on this quay in the relatively recent past, so the fishing location may have changed since. Please check this locally.

Bait

Bait can be collected at Shannakea Beach. Parking can be located at the end of this track. At low water, soft and peeler crab can be collected under the patches of weed in a 200 meter stretch below the access point There is another location at a road bridge about 1 km on the Kilrush side of Kildysart village. Beyond the bridge is a left turn down a track which has two gates. Parking is on either side of the causeway. Soft and peeler crab can be gathered under the patches of weed on either side of the causeway.
