Goats island / caliso bay

I am looking to head out fishing this weekend in either goats island or caliso bay,


I have fished goats island during the day and have caught flatfish here and a mullet at high tide before but looking to fish at night ...

So looking for information whats the best mark to fish at night ? baits etc and what else would be around these marks i could try for other then flatfish........

any information welcome ....

will try get lug /mussels and mackeral as bait

also form looking around on google maps iv noticed a small cove ... looks intriguing



to the right you have caliso bay and to the left you have mangans cove i presume ? Any one know what the one is in the middle may take a hike down to it. A bit of a trek but may be worth it

I have no experience of fishing any of those marks, but calisso bay has come up a lot on here in the past so a search should bring up old posts. From what I can remember, it's a tackle hungry spot with nothing spectacular in the way of catches. Plenty of rockling though if ya feel like hauling in slugs for the night.

Caliso Bay is very snaggy, there used to be a sand filled gully about 3/4 way down beach but that sand got ripped out of it a few years ago in winter storms.
It can throw up a good range of species; I have had lots of dogfish, three bearded rocking, five bearded rockling, coalfish, occasional scorpion fish, flounder, mackerel, pollock, corkwing wrasse, ballen wrasse and the rare bass. But that was from fishing into the sandy gulley. Now that the sand is gone the beach is porbably just a tackle graveyard.

ok after that depending on wind I am going to try ballyquinn strand or hit goats island to fish low to high and high to low on sunday and maybe Monday also
