Fenit area

Hi there I'm new to the site here just want to say hello and hopefully a bit of info. Myself and two brothers are heading to fenit for a week in 2 weeks time. Wee cottage right beside pier and strand of beach. It's a 500 mile journey there so any info on the area would go a long way for us. We are hoping for bass but is there anything else we can target from here at this time of year? Bait already bought in bulk for the trip, squid, mack, lug, razor, cuttlefish and a bit of fresh rag before we leave. I never caught a bass before so hope this is my time.

The pier and further on fenit island throws up ray flats pollock and conger and on the fenit road about five miles from tralee there a pub called the oyster tavern as far as I can remember that's the name you can fish beside that into tralee bay over high water for ray bass flatfish and more than occasional sting ray.... there a golf club located near fenit pier that will drive through it will lead ya to a surf beach that through up schoolies and turbot for me although a trip to the dingle peninsula side might give you a better chance of bass on the likes of inch beach

Would the stingray be about in February ?

Eh I'm not positive I seen two lads land a 20lber in may about five or six year ago id say they be present during the normal season for any ray from april to august id say your in for a shout but its definitly not myth they are landed there every year give it a go anyway cause I'm not positive about seasons they might be around february ask the locals as well

Cheers for the info, there be plenty of rods and baits in so here's hoping

its a bit early for the stingers from the end of march they slowly start to arrive into the bay up till september depending in the weather and water temps
