Wexford Waterford Cork Kerry

Introduction - Co. Kerry

Kerry is equally reknowned for its fishing - and there are few more spectacular or scenic counties in Ireland.  The many penninsulas give access to both deep water rock fishing and sheltered bays famous for their monkfish and ray marks.  Most of the Irish record rays were taken out of Tralee bay, and some from the shore!  Kerry is home to some spectacular fishing and remarkable feats : - a 109 lb common skate was taken in off Fenit Pier on 19 lbs line - mind you it took 4˝ hours to bring it in!  Storm beaches like Inch strand are famous for their bass fishing, particularly in early spring but what is not as well appreciated is the superb sea fishing. Some of the skippers listed below are a bit slow on providing some information - give them a prod!

The boat caters for ten anglers. Scraggane pier is out to sea on the Maharee’s. The Maharee’s divides Tralee Bay from Brandon Bay. This enables Danny to fish the shallows to the East, or into the deeper waters to the West. Quality gear available.
