Kilkee Pier is on the north
side of the main beach below the town of Kilkee. There are no
problems with access or parking. This is an ideal location for
holiday anglers where they can spin for mackerel and pollack at
high water and bottom fish for flatfish and occasional bass using
lugworm and fish bait.
Bait
Bait can be
obtained from White Strand Killard beach 2.5 kms west of Doonbeg.
The beach is in two sections and lugworm can be dug here on the
left hand side at low water and the first two hours of the flood
tide.Bait can also be obtained from Carrigaholt Pier which is
situated 0.5 km on the eastern side of Carrigaholt village.
Access is easy and there is parking on the side of the road near
the main Slipway. Soft and peeler crab can be collected both here
and and among the rocks adjacent to the pier. Some lugworm and
small ragworm can also be dug in the sandy patches beside the
inner pier.
