A bit out of my reach. I did fish competitions up that way years ago and it was dogs, ray and huss
From http://www.fishinginireland.info/sea/we ... saveal.htm

Shore fishing from the south western corner of Mannin Bay, just inside Knock Point can be very productive for ray, dogfish and flatfish. On the western side of Knock Point, at False Bay and Dooloughan, shore fishing is mainly for flounder, plaice, dabs and small turbot. Lugworm and mackerel strip are the most commonly used baits

Thx that's great.

Mannin bay is very shallow and full of "coral" not the best for bottom fishing - the two beaches nth and sth of Ballyconeelly are also very shallow - a few flounders is all you would catch

the catches from deeper waters are not much better from the reports of late

your best bet is to sent a pm to gfkelly - who lives locally and may know how good the fishing is right now

good luck

Thx, although that is a little disappointing. I am taking our small zodiac and I was hoping for a few mackeral at least.
