The last thing you need is help finding fish in Dingle, they are everywhere :lol:
If you want the best chance of catching fish then you are going to the right place, you lucky thing, I wish I was going :cry:
I have to wait until September which seems so far away.
Five days is just enough time to explore and fish all of the marks but it's still long enough to hopefully catch something decent.
Dingle has alot to offer an angler as the variety of fish there is to catch from the shore is amazing.
Without naming any particular marks all I will say is basically try any beach if you want to catch Bass.
The best baits to use at this time of year are sandeels and lugworm (fresh) with razorfish being a good bait all year around.
Plugging and lure fishing for Bass at this time of year can be very effective.
Bait fishing for them at night is also very good using a 2 hook paternostor rig.
Thornback Rays can be caught at this time of year in and around the bay in Dingle itself.
Big congers can be found at any of the main piers in the area too.
There's also good Wrasse to be had at many of the rock marks as well.
Good luck and let me know how you get on.

Hi bud,
All around Dunmore Head has deadly rock fishing spinning for Pollock. First choice would be jelly worms & then natural sand eels. We've had wrasse here to on crab & even one or two strap congers around slack water. The place is great too because if the swell is too great on the north side its only a short walk around to the sheltered south side.
Enjoy it,

Milltown beach is no use, its too shallow all the way out. even behind the skelling you need to find the channel and its at range and a particular angle.

the harbour mouth area would be a better bet.
