Tackle shops in the Kerry area are not the best. There is one in Dingle but it might not be the best for fresh bait
The nearest would be landers in Tralee
http://www.landers.ie/ but ring ahead to be sure. If you do head that way ask for directions to SPA or Gaynor’s corner for rays (stingers if you lucky
) sand eel and crab baits are best there.
Dingle would be the best choice: Two options from here for bass, Inch beach on the Southern side or the beaches in Brandon bay to the north. The Brandon bay beaches suffer from surfers so a 4x4 is a handy option for getting further up the beach and away from them. Fermoyle (52.14.625,,, 10.07.471, Degrees Decimal Minutes on Google Earth) is the nearest to Dingle on the northern side. A lovely spin over the mountains. You will be able to dig a few lugworm on the left hand side on the way out to the beach. The beaches to the right would have a few more surfers on them so best for mornings or late evenings. These beaches will also produce some flounder, plaice and the odd painted ray.

Fishes best at the start of the beach and to the right but the surfers also gather there. So again early morning or at night. Watch for surges of water coming from your right as the tide gets near the cliff.
You will find a few lugworm here

Yes all the signposts are in Irish down this way. Do the paper work before you head over use Google earth to put marks into your satnav.

Ferriter’s cove is worth a go for bass and flounder
